Volleyball Club (GSEC)

Welcome to the Weill Cornell Student Volleyball Club! We meet a couple of days a week in Olin Hall Gym Court to play (mostly) friendly games. We have an open gym day when all levels are welcome, and one night for more experienced players so that everyone can improve their skills in the right environment and at the right pace. Time to remember those volleyball classes from college!

Soccer Club (GSEC)

The Cornell Isotopes Soccer Club is an athletic club open to soccer enthusiasts of all skill levels. Our goal is to provide an opportunity to form connections with your peers by competing as a team in city-wide coed recreational soccer leagues all year round.

Badminton Club (GSEC)

If you're a badminton enthusiast looking to play on campus, you've come to the right place! The club aims to provide a platform for Weill Cornell students, fellows, postdocs, faculty, staff and affiliates to play badminton regularly. The objective of the club is to facilitate its members to improve their skills and also socialize with other players. Going forward, we hope to have a competitive team which can participate in nationwide tournaments to gain more exposure and further improve their skills.

WCMC Book Club (GSEC)

The Book Club meets once every 2-3 months to discuss a book and eat a homemade meal. Books are democratically chosen, and everyone gets to propose one of their choice at least once a year. We read all different kinds of books, from memoirs to science fiction to classics and everything in between. We hope to see you at the next discussion!

Science & Education Policy Association (SEPA)

The Science & Education Policy Association is a student-run organization founded at the Tri-I aiming to facilitate the interaction between scientists and the world of science policy. Scientists are uniquely qualified to speak on science-related issues, both to advocate on behalf of science research and to communicate how science is beneficial to the public good. Bringing scientists to the forefront of these conversations will lead to more informed policies.

Student Clubs and Initiatives

Building lasting relationships outside of the laboratory are important to your experience in graduate school. Student clubs and academic initiatives reflect the community here at Weill Cornell. The interests is wide-ranging, whether they be academic and professional development or hitting a ball out of the park (or a birdie!), students are encouraged to join a student club or initiative.
