Student Experiences
Hub partnerships have enriched students' academic and pre-professional experiences and expanded their opportunities to engage inside and outside the classroom.
Experiential Writing in Oaxaca
During winter break 2025, COMM 3090: Experiential Writing students explored the vibrant city of Oaxaca and its surrounding natural and cultural landscapes. Led by CALS senior lecturer Michelle LaVigne, the 10-day program immersed students in the region's rich history—from pre-Colombian ruins at Monte Albán to modern-day Zapotec weaving demonstrations.
Students visited cloud forests, local markets, and language institutes while learning to translate their experiences into compelling narratives. Writing assignments ranged from travel blogs to scripts for short-form videos, connecting deep cultural exploration with real-world communication skills.
Cornell's colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Arts and Sciences, and SC Johnson have sent students to study at Tec.
Global Cornell welcomed almost 100 representatives from 18 international Global Hubs partner institutions to London for the second network meeting, co-hosted by King's College London. Participants came together to exchange ideas and pave the way for collaborations and engagement to build a better world.
