Cornell Urban Scholars Program

The Cornell Urban Scholars Program (CUSP) is dedicated to supporting the efforts of New York City's most innovative non-profit organizations. CUSP achieves this goal by encouraging Cornell's most talented students to pursue public service careers with organizations working with New York City's poorest children, families, and communities. Thanks to the contribution of Peter Sloane, President of the August Heckscher Foundation for Children, Cornell University was able to create this public service program. This blog represents the thirty-one 2007 Cornell Urban Scholars that are dedicating their summers to non-profit organizations and local government agencies.
