MS-ESP Current Student Panel

Wednesday, December 2, 1:30–2:15  p.m.

What is it really like to be part of Cornell's Master of Science in Environmental & Sustainability Policy (MS-ESP) program? Join us on December 2 for a virtual conversation with current MS-ESP student panelists to hear firsthand why they chose Cornell, what they're learning, and how the program is preparing them for careers in environmental and sustainability policy.

During this session, you'll get an inside look at the MS-ESP experience from students navigating the program right now. From interdisciplinary coursework and applied projects to career preparation and life in Ithaca, you'll learn how students make the most of their time at Cornell and prepare to address today's complex sustainability challenges.

In this session, we'll cover:

  • Why students chose Cornell's interdisciplinary approach to environmental and sustainability policy.
  • What it's like to learn in a collaborative, small-cohort environment with close faculty mentorship.
  • How students engage with hands-on learning through the employer-focused capstone, applied coursework, and real-world policy projects.
  • How the program prepares students for careers across business, consulting, nonprofits, government, and international organizations.
  • What it's like to call Ithaca home, from its scenic Finger Lakes setting and outdoor adventures to its collaborative, sustainability-minded community.
