Milstein Program Collab

The Collab (2 credit) seminar includes a speaker series, dynamic workshops (on public speaking, data visualization, leadership skills, design thinking, etc.) and cross-cohort collaborations.

The goal of the Collab course are:

• 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 Cornel Tech
