Celebrating the 19 European Studies Minors in the Class of 2021!!

June 2, 2021

The Institute for European Studies celebrates the success of the graduating students in the Class of 2021 who completed the European Studies minor.

19 students graduated from 5 colleges (AAP, CAS, CALS, ENGR, & ILR) and 13 different majors.  In addition to completing the ES minor, they completed other minors such as Law & Society, Business, Performing Arts, Inequality Studies, and History of Art. One graduate was one of 2 students in the first graduating class of the Migrations Studies minor.

Students in the minor were actively involved in campus activities. Students participated in dance troupes and served in leadership roles as for the Cornell Chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students and the Cornell Puerto Rican Student Association. Others served as RA's and co-founded organizations like the Professional Development of Women. Many students participated in Study Abroad and the Cornell in Turin Program. In addition, students were Cornell Tradition Fellows, research fellows, and were awarded IES funding for their research projects.

Overall, this is an outstanding group of students we are proud to acknowledge and honor for their many diverse accomplishments. Well done and congratulations, graduates!
