What is Explore CT? Explore CT is The Cornell Tradition’s first-year experience series. The four sessions in this series are designed to welcome new fellows into the Tradition; further acquaint them with the values, benefits, and requirements of the Tradition; establish a community of civically-minded scholars, and help new students acclimate to the Tradition and Cornell. Participation in Explore CT is required of all first-year students and optional for all first-time upper-class fellows. Transfer students are required to attend Orientation, but the remainder of the Explore CT events are optional (though highly recommended).
What are the National Student Employment Week Recognition Awards?
Each year during National Student Employment week, The Cornell Tradition and the Office of Student Employment coordinate a set of awards that recognize the outstanding contributions of student employees and employers. Student employees and employers also have the opportunity to nominate their employers and employees for special recognition awards, which include a framed award and gift certificate to the Cornell Store. The awards selection process typically takes place early in the spring semester. More information about the awards and the nomination process can be obtained by contacting the Tradition Office at 255-8595.
What is the Peer Advisory Network? The Cornell Tradition Peer Advisory Network was created to provide first-year and transfer fellows with information and advice from a student perspective and to In addition to helping new fellows in their transition to Cornell and the Tradition, Peer Advisors also help foster a sense of camaraderie among Tradition fellows by creating opportunities for new fellows to meet others in their colleges and class year who share similar values. The Student Advisory Council (SAC) and the Tradition staff actively support the Peer Advisors by offering tips and important information during the Peer Advisor Training, partnering with Peer Advisors to help plan service projects for advisees, and generally supporting Peer Advisors throughout the year. Peer Advisors can receive up to 15 hours of campus service for their work; applications are available in the Tradition Office during the latter half of spring semester.
