Houses at cornell and Michigan universities - residences for students enrolled as full-time students and 2-3 faculty members.cornell - current housemembers are both undergraduates and graduates enrolled at cornell university and study a full range of disciplines. Members of cornell faculty also live at the house. This setting provides an unusually rich and intense academic experience. The house encourages this through formal programs such as a public speaking program, seminars led by members or guest professors, and faculty receptions. Much of the house's special impact occurs informally in daily life.

The Telluride Association sophomore seminar (tass) offers bright, motivated high school sophomores challenging six-week college level courses in black studies and other humanities topics. We work with university faculty to create exciting courses designed to inspire young people to learn critical thinking, community-building, and self-governance. Because we believe that all students should have the opportunity to pursue their ideals, we cover all program costs, including tuition, room & board, field trips, and facilities fees. Students with financial need may apply for additional assistance with travel costs and a subsidy to replace summer earnings.
