Hello! I'm Anna. I am a junior communication major from Middleburgh, NY. Outside of IDP, I am a Student Advisory Committee member for the Cornell Tradition Fellowship and a Cornell Daily Sun staff writer. In my spare time, I love watching movies, going on walks around campus, and hanging out with friends. I am so excited to continue my journey as an IDP facilitator this year. This class has transformed how I perceive and navigate the world. Through interactions with my peers, I recognized the importance of dialogue, collaboration, and connection when planning for social change. In IDP, I am empowered to see myself as an educator, a student, and changemaker. I can't wait to learn and grow with everyone this semester!

Hi! I’m Bella, a junior majoring in Industrial and Labor Relations minoring in Inequality Studies and Africana Studies. I took EDUC 2610 during my sophomore year and I thoroughly loved it. EDUC 2610 is by far one of my favorite classes at Cornell! Not only did it provide me with great memories and enjoyment but it also helped me grow as a human being and citizen of the world. It helped me deepen my relationships and understanding of others to an extent I did not think possible. I am extremely excited to continue my journey with this incredible program as a facilitator and greatly look forward to being both a teacher and learner!

Hi! My name is Brittanie, and I'm a junior studying information science with a minor in architecture at CALS. I usually spend most of my time taking and editing photos, or making delicious food. I took IDP my spring semester of sophomore year, and it completely changed the way I look at social identities and the social structures around the world. I learned how to be a better communicator, whether it be in the workplace or with my friends and family. I am grateful to have this opportunity to become a facilitator and learn about myself and others!

Hello everyone! My name is Christian Kuhl, and I am a transfer sophomore student at the School of Industrial and Labor Relations.

Hi I'm Claire, I'm technically still a Biology major in CALS but now I'm mostly working towards a Masters in Computer Science. Taking EDUC 2610 freshman year was one of the best decisions I've ever made and I am so grateful that I get to continue being a part of it 3 years later. Outside of school, I really love being in nature, my favorite is to look for macro invertebrates in rivers or the ocean like crustaceans or insect larvae. But I'm always down for more *conventional* outdoor time. I'm so excited to be back in this amazing environment and I hope everyone taking EDUC 2610 will come to love this course as much as I do.

Hi! My name is Claire Qian, and I am a senior majoring in Industrial Labor Relations.

Hi everyone! My name is Evan, and I am currently a junior in the Nolan School of Hotel Administration! I took EDUC 2610 during the spring semester of 2023, and had an amazing experience being able to learn about important topics regarding social identity.

I'm enthusiastic about taking on the role of a facilitator to offer incoming students an equally wonderful experience!

Hi, I'm Isaac and I'm studying landscape architecture here in CALS! Coming from a very conservative town, I went out on a limb with IDP. How could a 3 hour conversation session be effective at teaching communication skills? I enrolled in EDUC 2610 thinking it'd be an easy course to fulfill the diversity requirement, but nothing could have prepared me for how much the course impacted me and my thinking. Outside of IDP, you can find me surrounding myself with classical music, practicing piano or bassoon, learning every plant's botanical name, drawing up a new landscape plan, going on a run, hiking with friends, and going on just about every adventure possible!

Hi hi!! My name is Joselyn, and I am a junior Biology major in CALS. I took EDUC 2610 my sophomore fall, and I really enjoyed the experience. IDP helped me foster new connections with people I would not have met had it not been for this class. The unique community IDP cultivates has allowed for interesting conversations I have not seen in other classes. I am excited to be facilitating for the first time!

Hello! I'm Kevin and I'm a junior in the College of Arts & Science studying American Studies and minoring in Inequality Studies.

Hey, I'm Lucia! I'm a sophomore studying Industrial and Labor Relations. I'm from a small town called Homer about 20 miles from Ithaca. At Cornell, you can find me singing with the Cornell Chorale, working at the Kheel Center in Catherwood Library, writing for the Cornell Book Review, or as an ILR Peer Mentor for incoming ILRies. Whenever I can, you'll find me reading, listening to fun podcasts, or (re)watching my favorite TV shows (especially Gilmore Girls). I was introduced to IDP by an upperclassman ILR student who raved about the skills she learned and the people she met. While taking EDUC 2610 spring semester of my freshman year, I understood her praise! I love what IDP stands for, and I am beyond excited to continue my journey as a facilitator, to strengthen my dialogue skills, continue exploring myself and my identities, and to keep learning ways to communicate across difference, a skill I believe is vital in today's climate!

Hi! My name is Orania and I am a junior at the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. As a freshman, EDUC 2610 was one of my favorite classes so I decided to come back as a facilitator for a third time this year! IDP was a different experience outside of my classes at Dyson, it allowed me to challenge my thinking and understanding of other people, so I felt like there is still a lot for me to learn from the wonderful IDP team and class. Outside of IDP, I love to make perfumes and experiment with oils and scents as well as design clothing pieces and explore fashion studies. As a returning facilitator, I'm excited to meet everyone and continue to grow!

Hi! My name is Orlando and I'm a rising senior studying biological sciences in CALS. I took EDUC 2610 last spring and loved my experience. IDP was a completely different experience than any other class I've taken. I was able to meet people from so many different backgrounds and majors that I wouldn't have met otherwise, and became close friends with those in my class. This is my first time being a facilitator and I'm excited to share this experience with everyone! Outside of class I like trying new foods, rock climbing, and binge watching TV shows and movies.

It's helped me become more open to connection, share emotions, and engage in authentic conversations. It's truly been an exciting journey, and I can't wait to spend more years with this amazing community.
