NYS Fair & International Exchange Specialist

Cornell University is an innovative Ivy League university and a great place to work. Our inclusive community of scholars, students and staff impart an uncommon sense of larger purpose and contribute creative ideas to further the university's mission of teaching, discovery and engagement. With our main campus located in Ithaca, NY, Cornell's far-flung global presence includes the medical college's campuses on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Doha, Qatar, as well as the Cornell Tech campus located on Roosevelt Island in the heart of New York City.

Cornell Human Ecology (CHE) explores the complexity of human life. We bring together a wide range of perspectives to understand the full context of the human experience and improve lives at every scale, from cells to society. Our research and academic programs focus on the interaction of humans with their biological, economic, social and physical environments. Using Cornell's far-reaching extension network and the college's translational research methods, we deliver our findings directly to communities and families, ensuring that our work reaches those who need it most.

As a part of CHE, the NYS 4-H Youth Development Program provides a supportive setting for youth to reach their fullest potential. Young people learn beneficial cognitive and life skills through community-focused, research-based, experiential educational programs. High quality agriculture and food systems, civic engagement, healthy living, and STEM programs are delivered through clubs, afterschool and school programs, camps, fairs and other community-based programs and events. Youth development professionals and volunteers support youth thriving through nurturing sparks, promoting high quality experiences, and cultivating positive relationships within communities.
