Hands-On Sustainability Experience
Cornell Atkinson sponsors summer internships for Cornell students who want to immerse themselves fully in project teams working at the intersection of science, policy, community, and the private sector.

“I have loved the opportunity to connect with researchers all over the world during the Climate Smart Agriculture team’s biweekly global calls. Climate Smart Agriculture is a much more prominent and active field than I thought. Whether I am hearing about curbing livestock emissions in India or farmer engagement with a Nature Restoration Regulation in the EU, there is such a diversity of people, experiences, and work to learn from.”
