- Attend the Fall International Fellows Reception – held annually in October to showcase the work of the recent MS1 student summer international projects. Meet and network with WCM Global Health Faculty to hear about summer opportunities.
- Send emails and meet potential faculty mentors informally to see if they have projects which may be a good fit for you and your skill set.
- Schedule a meeting with IMSE Directors (Dr. Laura Greisman and Dr. Radhika Sundararajan at IMSEdirectors@med.cornell.edu) for guidance and advice.
