CIW was my most valuable semester at Cornell as it allowed me to put my skills to use outside the classroom. I interned at a private health care consulting firm and my research paper was on racial bias in health care settings, which I used as a springboard to apply to grad school. Soon I’ll be getting my PhD in health services research at Brown University. I’m forever thankful for CIW and its impact on my journey!
