Social Enterprise at Cornell (SEC) has given me the opportunity to excel and enhance my path in the professional world, and I am extremely grateful to serve as the Fall 2025 President. At SEC, we hope to provide an enriching experience to our members who want to explore business, social entrepreneurship, and consulting. Each semester, members have the opportunity to contribute to a real-world project, exploring their interests while making a social impact in the work they do. In the past, we have worked with start-ups, small businesses, mid-sized firms, and Fortune 500s. In the end, our primary goal is to help our members cultivate their path to success and provide guidance when navigating their experiences both professionally and at Cornell. 

When first joining SEC as a new member, they will experience a tailored New Member Education program, a 10-week workshop where they learn about the intersections of social impact in consulting, finance, and entrepreneurship. What truly makes our program truly different is its focus on individuality: 1. Each new member undergoes individualized case interview and resume preparations, and 2. Each class chooses its own new member educational curriculum. We take pride in our new member education, which allows us to teach business fundamentals while diving deeper into the sectors that the new members are most passionate about. In addition, new members work with current members on a real-world consulting project, applying the skills they learned and preparing them for future careers. We also host a few speaker series events throughout the semester, where all members can network with alumni from top firms and successful start-ups. 

SEC was not only the first organization I joined upon arriving at Cornell, but also the first community I became part of. Over time, through the ups and downs, SEC has truly felt like a family. Our members are always there to help and support one another, and this is the primary reason why SEC is such an amazing campus organization. My fondest memories are the many social events and gatherings we’ve been fortunate to have—most notably boat tours across Cayuga Lake, extravagant date nights at the finest restaurants in Collegetown and the Commons, and the semesterly end-of-year formal.
