Sustainable Fashion Event

Join Cornell researchers and the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability for an interactive discussion and showcase on sustainability within the fashion industry. Our speakers, Danielle Eiseman, Denise Green, and Sarosh Kuruvilla, will explore and highlight key points from the film The True Cost (available through Cornell University Library with a NetID) and the global climate impacts we face from rising demand for fashion trends. Beyond the impacts, our goal is to share ideas on solutions and actions we all can take to reduce the environmental impacts of the clothing industry. We invite the broader community to share their approaches to environmentally friendly fashion, whether it is mending, tailoring, thrifting, or recycling fibers, bring it to the event and share!

Impact Investing Competition

Impact Investing at Cornell (IIC) is hosting its annual Cornell Impact Investing Pitch Competition in the spring, where undergraduates nationwide can pitch investment proposals, win cash prizes, and build mentorships in the field of impact investing. Participants will form teams of 2 to 4 to identify, research, and recommend an early-stage company addressing a social or environmental challenge for a hypothetical $1M investment. No prior business experience is necessary, and IIC can help match individuals to teams if needed.

If you're interested, please fill out the initial Interest Form to secure access to the info sessions (held on January 29th at 5 pm EST and February 4th at 4:30 pm EST) and receive important updates. The competition has two rounds: a virtual submission due on Friday, March 6th, 2026 followed by an invite-only in-person final round during the Cornell Business Impact Symposium on Saturday, April 11th, 2026. Finalists will receive exclusive mentorship from impact investment professionals, be featured in the symposium, and connect with industry leaders.
