CHE in NYC

CHE in NYC builds on our existing programs and events including Cornell University Cooperative Extension – New York City, the Action Research Collaborative, and the Cornell Fashion & Design Expo. Additionally, we launched a new summer internship in 2024.

To make it easier to work in the city, CHE in NYC offers a co-working space in 570 Lexington Avenue, Cornell’s Midtown hub for faculty research, student learning and public engagement activities.

Tashara M. Leak, associate professor in the Division of Nutrition Sciences, is the inaugural associate dean of CHE in NYC.

Cornell Human Ecology is now offering cubicle space in New York City for faculty, staff, and graduate and undergraduate students on the 11th Floor of 570 Lexington Avenue (bet. 50th and 51st).
