eCornell was truly one of the best investments I made in my entire career and it’s what brought me to where I am now.
Cornell University definitely changed my life.
What I wanted was something that had an exceptional caliber of professionals and professors, and eCornell actually gave me that.
I was really able to harness that technology and have a classroom right at my kitchen table with eCornell.
