As the 2025–26 academic year comes to a close, Cornell Tech will host a series of events throughout May showcasing student achievement, entrepreneurship, design, and the future of emerging technologies. Held on Cornell Tech’s Roosevelt Island campus in New York City, the events bring together students, faculty, alumni, industry leaders, and the public to experience the interdisciplinary work driving innovation across campus.

This year’s programming includes milestone traditions such as the campus’s flagship Startup Awards, which celebrate graduating students and student-led entrepreneurship. It also introduces major new chapters for Cornell Tech — an invite-only ribbon-cutting marking the opening of new design and architecture, art, and planning facilities, and the launch of the inaugural Frontiers of AI Summit.

“Cornell Tech’s spring events reflect both the traditions that define our community and the new AI initiatives shaping its future,” said Greg Morrisett, Jack and Rilla Neafsey Dean and Vice Provost at Cornell Tech. “As AI moves rapidly from the lab into the world, it’s critical to pause and examine the foundational research driving these advances, which is what the new Frontiers of AI Summit is designed to do. Together, these events create space to surface new thinking, technical breakthroughs, and responsible approaches that will help shape the AI era.”
