After a long awaited three years, the BCMB community gathered together in September 2022 for another amazing in person BCMB Allied graduate program retreat. The retreat was held at Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY where students and faculty had the opportunity to reconnect over two days of sharing their research and exciting science taking place in their labs along with their experiences as part of the Weill Cornell graduate school. 

Employment Options

F-1 students are not allowed to work in the United States without work authorization. It is the student’s responsibility to comply with all U.S. immigration regulations that apply to F-1 students. If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to consult with us. 

Important Guidelines to Maintain Lawful F-1 Status

As an international student on an F-1 visa, it is important that you understand and comply with immigration regulations to avoid problems that can interfere with your studies. It is the responsibility of each student to stay informed and maintain lawful F-1 status during your stay in the United States. A violation of the immigration regulations could jeopardize your F-1 status, and lead to stoppage of your Weill Cornell stipend.

All F-1 international students who are returning WCM students, have an initial I-20, or are SEVIS transfer students must complete the online check-in procedure in accordance with the instructions provided in your email from the Office of International Student Services. International students who are entering the United States for the first time on an F-1 visa are only permitted to enter the U.S. up to 30 days prior to the "program start date" on your I-20.
