Cornellian immigrant stories

Join us as we follow the global journeys of six Cornellians. 

One arrived as a student with just $14. One came to Iowa with two bags, mostly packed with books. Another attended her citizenship ceremony on the way to campus for move-in day.

Their stories highlight the contributions immigrants bring to society and the opportunity that a Cornell College education provides, whether for students or those who teach on the Hilltop.
