Distinguished Visitors

A key goal of the Berry Center is to bring business leaders, scholars and policy experts directly into the classroom. Cornell’s One-Course-At-Time (OCAAT) approach makes scheduling simple, and students often interact with visiting professionals for hours or even several days. Read more about visitors in the classroom.

Off-Campus Study

Students have the opportunity to engage in courses that leave the Hilltop for experiential learning projects. The Berry Center supports courses that provide these extraordinary opportunities in areas of economics, business, and public policy. Read more about a recent off-campus study experience supported by the Berry Center.

Undergraduate Research 

Cornell has a long tradition of meaningful faculty-student research in the sciences. Faculty members approach these projects as mentors in a collaborative, educational process, generally working with no more than two students at a time. The Berry Center seeks to extend this strength to the areas of economics, business, and public policy. Read more about a recent faculty-student research project supported by the Berry Center.
