In your experience, how has the Cornell Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management helped you solve real-world problems through innovation and global research Can you share specific projects you have created? #Spring25
Hi, my name is Neriah, and I am a rising first-year student at the Cornell Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. I am passionate about innovation, financial literacy, and fashion business/marketing, with an interest in tech and engineered solutions. I aim to use my major, Applied Economics and Management, to innovate global platforms of economic empowerment for marginalized creators and entrepreneurs. I would greatly appreciate gaining insights from a Cornell Dyson student, alumnus, or economics major who has innovated or worked on projects addressing key issues such as fashion sustainability, economic inclusion, or other challenges in the business world, especially those incorporating tech and engineered solutions. Any perspectives or advice would be incredibly valuable as I begin my journey at Cornell. Warmly, Neriah #Spring25
What are some extracurriculars I could do that is stem/medicine based?
I’ve had a lot of ideas on what Extracurriculars I want to do but they just seem too much for me to accomplish as a 16 year old. Some ideas I had was formulating an eco friendly sunscreen using chemistry principals but I would assume you need to have a degree in chemistry. Another idea was creating a skin cancer detecting app, or starting a program by going around to different schools, and/or community centers providing information on skin cancer and hosting events with the help of volunteers from my school. Honestly this all just seems really complicated for me to do especially without a mentor. I plan to start volunteering at a kidney center next month and get a part time job on the weekends. At the moment I am applying to stem/medicine based internships. I need some advice. I am 16 and in 10th grade. I plan to major in chemistry and I aspire to be a dermatologist.

Would a degree from an engineering school or a duel diploma with a liberal arts school and an engineering school give an engineering student a more well-rounded education?
As a student with many interests, spaning from stem to art-history, it is hard to tell what kind of institution will be best suited for me. Would you suggest a program that is soley at an engineering school, or would a duel degree with an engineering school and a liberal arts college be better for me? I'm concerned that I am going to miss oppertunities either way. Any advice? #women-in-stem #stem #steam

What are ways to increase your changes of being accepted to four year colleges, despite being from a low income area?
Another question I have is how can I stand out to colleges while being from a low income area that, to me, seems to limit my opportunities? I have had personal experiences losing great opportunities due to where I am from. #college #high-school #low-income-area #workforce #steam #stem #science #technology #engineering #math #forensics #pharmaceuticals #medicine #space-exploration #space #planetary-science #astrophysics #astronomy #career #advice
What are the challenges I may face pursuing a career in science, and how can I stand out among the rest?
For my first two years in high school I have been studying biotechnology and I have been working diligently in preparing myself for college and the workforce. Though I have not decided on an exact career, I am deeply considering one within forensics, pharmaceuticals, or in the space exploration fields. What are some of the challenges students may face when applying for college, throughout college, and in the workforce?
