Cornell University's Class of 2029 includes 3,861 first-year students and 640 transfers from all 50 states and 97 countries. The class is characterized by a passion for research, innovation, and connection. Notably, 18% are first-generation college students. Move-in occurs from August 18-22, with New Student Orientation running from August 18-24, and a welcome from President Michael I. Kotlikoff on August 19. Twin brothers Emil and Nikhil Damji will study hotel administration, highlighting the diverse experiences of incoming students.
Isabella Rodriguez hopes to discover ways mechanical engineering can help untangle society's challenges. Matthew Jordan wants to explore how politics can change people's daily lives. Sara Horvath plans to pivot after 21 years in the U.S. Navy to study sustainable farming systems.
The Class of 2029 will be Cornell's largest ever, and 18% of the students will be the first in their families to attend college.
As we welcome this new class of students, I look forward to seeing the ways they shape and are shaped by our community.
Move-in will be a family affair for Emil and Nikhil Damji - twin brothers who both plan to study hotel administration in the Cornell Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration.
