Halfway Home: Growing Careers at Cornell Plantations

September 23, 2014

With 1 week to go and thanks to your generosity, we are half-way to our goal of raising $10,000 for 2 student internships at Cornell Plantations next summer! 

"There's so much that you just can't learn from a textbook. You need to do things, you need to actually see the plants in their environment. Working at Plantations is a really good educational experience."--Esther Okech '16

"Having an understanding about plants, because that's really what life is based on, really helps you grow as a person. I had such a great experience here and I just hope that other students can have a similar one."--Chris Conlon '15

Help us meet our goal by sharing this update and video with your friends, colleagues, and others who believe in these young leaders!
