" I joined a team and found a family. We don't just build planes - we make lifelong friendships in a team experience that's truly unique. Joining was the best decision of my college career. Anna Fang
" CUAir has probably been the most important Cornell opportunity I've had. Not only have I been able to grow and learn engineering practices that I could never learned in classes, but I've also surrounded myself with one of the most talented, brilliant, and interesting groups of people I've ever met. If you give your all to this team, you'll get more out of it than you ever imagined. Sam Feibel

Sign up for a CUAir Coffee Chat!

Sign up here for a casual coffee chat with one of our members!


Beginning August 24th, times will be available for coffee chats both in-person and via call. They are entirely optional and will not be used during recruitment decisions. We recommend taking some time to chat with someone to help you learn about what CUAir is like and what we're looking for! Ask us about the projects we work on, CUAir culture, or our favorite hobbies!

Please sign up at least 24 hours in advance to give team members time to adjust their schedules as needed.
