Cornell Experience Modernization Initiative

As common as possible, as different as absolutely necessary

Shaped by the Cornell Community: Get Involved

Contribute your skills and experience to the Cornell Experience Modernization Initiative (CEMI, said as “See Me”). Community members know the current processes and systems best—and what it’s going to take to change how we do things.

Get involved (CEMI Contact Hub): ask a question, suggest improvements, add your insights to a CEMI effort, volunteer for an activity, or join the mailing list.
