  “The ability to bring the collective talents and skills of many more Cornell students out to our communities through the Engaged Cornell program is an exciting new opportunity,” said Kevin Jordan, executive director of CCE Jefferson County. “We’ve all seen the positive impact that just one intern can have at the local level. Deploying groups of interns on a single project under this new initiative will increase that impact exponentially.”
