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.

The purpose of the club is to engage young minds with science. We believe that STEM outreach must start early!Our tasks are developing exciting lesson plans for elementary school students and running the program in NYC elementary schools and at on/off campus events. We aim for at least half of our events to be held in schools located in inner-city urban communities, aiming to inspire traditionally underrepresented youth to learn about STEM careers and that science can be fun. Most importantly, we want to make the kids excited about learning, tinkering, asking questions, guessing and testing their guesses without fear of being wrong.

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).

The Science Communication Club was founded because of the increasing interest amongst STEM PhD students to develop more effective communication skills for their respective careers. The mission of this club is to help students develop necessary leadership and communication skills, aid students in navigating various career options involving science communication, and help bridge the communication gap between scientists and the general population.

Volleyball Club welcomes any level of players (experienced players, sorta players and casual level players) and club creates a beneficial environment for students to help them to develop their volleyball skills, to socialize and to relax from routine work as well.

The Weill Cornell Biotech Club (WCBC) was created to foster a community of members with a shared interest in biotechnology and healthcare within the Tri-I Area (Weill Cornell Medical College, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and Rockefeller University). Through our events, we engage discussions on various cutting-edge biotechnologies and the future trends of the healthcare system. By bringing individuals from industry to our campus, we are bridging the gap between industry and academia with the hope to foster a greater entrepreneurial spirit in New York City.
