Cornell High Road Fellowships Ignite Civic Careers in Buffalo

Cornell University students and area civic leaders came together for a panel on public service on Saturday, June 23, at WBFO studios. The undergraduates are in Buffalo for the High Road Fellowship, a Cornell in Buffalo program that brings Cornellians to the City of Good Neighbors for summer immersions in community and economic development. Assembly Members Sean Ryan and Crystal Peoples-Stokes spoke at the event.

High Road Fellows work with Partnership for the Public Good (PPG) partner organizations over the summer. Since 2009, the program has brought 171 Cornell undergraduates from all over the world to Buffalo for an immersion in community-based economic development. Cornell hopes to create career pathways for the next generation of government leaders through this new WNY initiative.
