Welcome Message from University President David Skorton
President David J. Skorton
“Cornell University traces its origins to the vision of an entrepreneur and an educational innovator who together saw the opportunity to create a new kind of university for America. By combining traditional subjects with new, emerging and practical areas of inquiry, Ezra Cornell and Andrew D. White built a university singularly able to address the needs of 19th century America.
Today, Cornell continues the entrepreneurial legacy of its founders with a distinguished and innovative university-wide program called Entrepreneurship@Cornell. Drawing on the strong entrepreneurial and business skills of its faculty and the resources of one of the world's great research universities, Entrepreneurship@Cornell enables Cornell students and the wider community to develop the knowledge they need for business creation and success.
I invite you to learn more about the nationally acclaimed Entrepreneurship@Cornell program and its distinctive approach to nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit in Cornellians today.”
– President David J. Skorton
