January Transfer Student Orientation
Welcome new Hotelies! We are delighted to have you as part of the Cornell School of Hotel Administration community, and we are here to help you make a smooth transition to Cornell and the School of Hotel Administration. During the Transfer Student Orientation, you will meet our deans, advisors, faculty members, student leaders, and members of the Office of Student Services staff.
Each program is designed to familiarize you with different aspects of life at the school, including registration, course enrollment, unique programs available, academic and personal advising, career management, strategies for managing your time, and employment opportunities in the Statler Hotel.
You will also have the opportunity to attend receptions, where you can relax and chat with faculty members, student leaders within the school’s various clubs and organizations, student ambassadors, and undergraduate advisors.
