High Road fellowships foster leadership and engaged citizenship through public service and applied research.
High Road New York fellows will work within communities, organizations and local governments, applying lessons from the classroom to issues of economic justice, policy and urban renewal in Ithaca, Buffalo and New York City. Students will test their knowledge, gain valuable experiences and serve people and communities across the state.
High Road New York will be among the most accessible, immersive and educational public service programs at Cornell University. It will be a model for undergraduate engagement in the university’s land-grant mission.
ILR offers a range of community-engaged learning opportunities through which students apply theory learned in the classroom to real-life challenges.
Our exceptional ILR outreach faculty are key to the High Road’s program’s tremendous success, as they will be to its successful expansion statewide.
High Road fellowships are a powerful educational tool. They prepare students to interact with diverse constituencies on complex social issues and teach students to put theory into practice.
