Civic Service and Research: The High Road Runs Through the City
"High Road" summer fellowships immerse students in economic development
Every first week in June, students from Cornell's ILR School arrive in Buffalo for a summer of community service, civic participation, urban immersion and research.
They come from all over – from nine states in 2012 – for two intensive months of hands-on experience in grassroots economic development. I direct this paid summer fellowship program, The High Road Runs Through the City, funded by the ILR School.
