Three Cornell doctoral students were selected for the Department of Energy’s Office of Science Graduate Student Research Program, which will provide training and access to state-of-the-art facilities.
At the May event, students covered topics focused on countries around the globe and ranging from immigration, home care workers and female sports culture to the U.S.-China relationship, the repatriation of cultural objects and AI and literature.
For the first time, the breadth and depth of Cornell’s international footprint has been chronicled in a book: “Beyond Borders: Exploring the History of Cornell’s Global Dimensions.”
