Meet Kammi

Kammi, an Applied Economics and Management major with a penchant for real-world experiences, thrives on the opportunities Dyson provides and finds the robust alumni and professional network helps fuel exploration across diverse sectors. Her go-to student resource on campus? The OADI office, discovered during her Pre-Collegiate Summer Scholars Program. When studying, Kammi retreats to the law school lounges and the serene Catherwood Library. Beyond campus, she finds Stewart Park a tranquil haven by Cayuga Lake, perfect for picnics and relaxing walks.

What clubs/activities are you involved in?

I am involved with Diversity On The Streets (Eboard), Dyson Diversity Council (Eboard), Cornell University Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (business subteam), and Project Hope (fundraising committee).

Why is the Dyson School a great fit for you?

Dyson is a great fit for me because of the endless opportunities provided for students to get technical experiences reflecting real-world professional scenarios. The strong alumni and professional network in Dyson also allows students to explore different sectors and interests. For example, there are alumni and peer advisor coffee chat hours available for students to ask questions about specific sectors of the business industry. Furthermore, there are 11 concentrations we can choose from that help us develop specialized knowledge and practical skills in a range of real-world-relevant areas.

What are your go-to campus resources? How did you discover them?

The OADI office! I discovered them when I was participating in the Pre-Collegiate Summer Scholars Program (PSSP) the summer before my freshman year at Cornell.

What is one piece of advice or something you wish you knew when you were applying?   

The business club culture for business students could be a bit intense for introverts. But it helps you prepare for the necessary public speaking and networking skills that would benefit you professionally.
