Human Ecology Young Alumni Council

As a young alumnus/a, your interests are important to us, and the Human Ecology Young Alumni Council (HEYA) is dedicated to making sure your voice is heard. Founded in 2012, HEYA comprises more than 30 volunteers who graduated from Human Ecology within the past 10 years. HEYA and its three committees — Campus Engagement, Events, and Young Alumni Outreach — focus on communicating your ideas, implementing programs that are relevant and meaningful to you and supporting your professional development.
HEYA wants to help you stay engaged with your fellow recent graduates and to nurture your lifelong connections with Human Ecology and the broader Cornell community. Connect with HEYA today by emailing HEaad@cornell.edu to share what’s new with you.
