The Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network (CAAAN) is a vibrant community of proud Cornell alumni who share their Big Red spirit with prospective students and their families across the United States and around the world.
As enthusiastic ambassadors, CAAAN volunteers play an important role in welcoming newly admitted students to the Cornell family. Through Cornell’s CU on the Hill social network, alumni connect with incoming first-year students to share stories, answer questions, and offer friendly guidance as they navigate their college decisions.
The Cornell Commitment scholars are supported through an extensive orientation in their first year, receive scholarships if financial aid eligible, and can access additional funding to support their participation in experiential learning opportunities domestically and abroad. Programs to network with fellow students, faculty, administrators, and alumni further round out the student experience.
Preparing for a Health Career
Students who are interested in pursuing a health career find great opportunities at Cornell. In fact, nearly one out of every six Cornell undergraduates intend to pursue a career in medicine. Students may study in any of Cornell's undergraduate schools and colleges and graduate well-prepared for further medical career studies and options.
