Vision

At CUSD we aim to provide a community in which Cornell students can develop their skills, professionally engage with the real world, and contribute to the development of communities internationally. As an umbrella for several project teamsa, our organization is a diverse family of 200+ students with one common goal- to impact the global community through holistic sustainability. Through collaboration with entities like Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit and the Ithaca Sustainability Office, we create innovative ways to integrate technology and sustainability into community teams in a way that engages the surrounding community.
