MStudio
The MStudio includes a speaker series, dynamic workshops (on public speaking, data visualization, leadership skills, design thinking, etc.) and cross-cohort collaborations.
The goal of the MStudio is:
-
To establish a structure for students to engage in serious academic pursuits together as a group
-
To support collaboration and team-building skill development
-
To encourage engagement in communities outside the classroom
-
To learn to think conceptually across disciplines
-
To bring them into contact with a range of dynamic thinkers, artists, and community partners in order to prepare them for their summer residency in New York at Cornell Tech
