University on Friday, March 25th! The New York Youth Institute (NYYI) is a career development experience hosted at Cornell University for New York high school students to spend a day engaging with leading experts on critical global challenges, join in educational activities, and explore exciting ways to make a difference in New York and around the world.
Ninth through twelfth-grade students are eligible to participate.
