Networking
Strategies for Students (and Others)
Plan a networking strategy early in your college career.
- Visit the Area Studies Programs at the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies in Uris Hall. Participate in their seminars and get acquainted with their staff, faculty, and students.
- Attend special events sponsored by the International Students and Scholars Office.
- Make as many contacts as you can with alumni in international fields. The Area Studies Programs, Cornell Clubs, and the Public Service Center all have active alumni networks.
- Watch the Einaudi Center calendar for events and networking opportunities.
Strategies for Faculty and Staff
The Cornell International Education Network (CIEN) was formed in 1991:
- To promote professional development among staff and faculty working with international students and US students studying abroad,
- To share information and resources, and
- To plan and implement intercultural training programs for faculty, staff, and students.
Members represent a broad cross-section of the university, including the Mario Einaudi Center, the International Students and Scholars Office, Cornell Abroad, graduate and undergraduate admissions, Continuing Education and Summer Sessions, Cornell Career Services, Gannett: Cornell University Health Services, college student service offices, and Campus Life.
Any faculty or staff with an interest in international education at Cornell may join the Network. To subscribe to the CIEN listserv, send the following command via electronic mail to listproc@cornell.edu:
