MEMBER TESTIMONIALS
DAVID CRICHTON, ILR ‘25, President
“What I love most about CC is the culture of giving back. So much valuable information and advice has been bestowed upon me by upperclassmen, and now as an upperclassman, I feel a responsibility to share what I’ve learned with as many people as I can.”
CATHERINE ZHANG, Biometry & Statistics ‘25, VP of Corporate Relations
“What really makes CC special is the community — everyone is so passionate, driven, and genuine. CC fosters a sense of belonging. Having the opportunity to connect with people about their unique experiences has not only given me invaluable perspective into my career goals, but allowed me to grow in so many ways, both personally and professionally.”
AHMED SULTAN, CALS ‘24, Executive Vice President
“I joined CC because of the community. As a transfer student, I was looking for an organization on campus that fostered that sense of community and belonging, and I found it here. CC is filled with so many motivated and dedicated individuals, and it creates this energetic atmosphere that makes you want to work harder and be more involved.”
ANN GLAZER, AEM ‘25, Project Director
“I joined CC to learn more about the consulting industry and expose myself to people with different backgrounds and interests. After two years in CC, I believe it is the epicenter of thought leadership on Cornell’s campus. I am consistently inspired by the individuals in this organization and have found lifelong friends within the club.”
