Cornell Annual Fund for ILR

“Cornell, and even just the thought of having a shot at it in high school, has given me a sense of self-confidence and hope that I never thought I'd have. Cornell has shown me that I belong and can succeed in environments I always assumed were out of my league.”

—Cooper Stepke, ILR ’23
