Student Clubs and Initiatives

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.

We believe that STEM outreach must start early! The purpose of our club is to engage young minds with various STEM activities. Our tasks include developing, testing and teaching exciting lesson plans for children, focused on elementary/middle school students but also high school students on occasion. We run the program in NYC elementary schools, on campus, and at various community events.

A near-professional level group of musicians from across the Three Institutions who play classical arrangements on a seasonal basis.  If you would like to be involved, check out: https://sites.google.com/site/musicandmedensembles/home/audition-requirements, or email musicandmedensembles@gmail.com .

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.

Founded in the Spring of 2019, our Club mission is to foster an entrepreneurial ecosystem for Weill Cornell PhD students.

The Chinese Student and Scholar Association was founded to support the general Chinese population in Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorially Sloan-Kettering Institute, the Rockefeller University and Hospital for Special Surgery. We also work with Cornell Tech, as well as Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in New York. The mission of this association is to facilitate career and life in the four institutes and to introduce the Chinese culture to our international friends.

Tri-I Outreach Committee (TOrC) focuses on STEM outreach initiatives for K-12 through undergraduate students, primarily for underrepresented minorities and students from low-income families. Our mission is to offer mentorship, provide resources, spread awareness about research careers in STEM, and increase accessibility for students who lack resources in their local communities. We aim to inspire the next generation of scientists, curious thinkers, and problem solvers and provide them with the agency to set and achieve their goals. TorC consists of motivated graduate students, research scientists and postdoctoral volunteers from across the Tri-Institutional community (Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Rockefeller University) with a shared passion for science outreach.

This club aims at fostering a community of data scientists in the Tri-Institutional system. The goal of this club is to provide a support system to all the students who are looking to build a skillset in data science. Club activities include regular meetings where students share their data science projects and guest speaker events where experienced data scientists from the industry as well as research institutions will present on a variety of topics. We encourage students of all backgrounds and experience levels to attend the events.

The softball club is an athletic/social club open to all Weill Cornell graduate students (no softball experience necessary!). We play in a league on Randall's Island that runs from June-Early August, with games starting at 6:45 PM during the week. We also occasionally do some social events/practices a few weeks before the season starts or after games (in the case of social events).
