Application Guidelines 

Attend the required Information Meeting. If you missed the required meeting, choose one of the three options below to complete this requirement and participate in the FRESH Program:

  1. Come to 203 Barnes Hall to sign out a CD recording of the session, Monday-Friday 11:00 am—4:30 pm.
  2. Visit The Carol Tatkon Center (see website for office hours, includes weekends) to sign out a CD of the session.
  3. Listen to the required FRESH Information Session using the following audiolink (Windows Media Player required) on the web (Spring 2008): http://media.career.cornell.edu/media/audio.html

The process is on the "honor system," and we expect students to listen to the entire recording (65 minutes). After listening to the recording, students must visit 203 Barnes Hall to take a short quiz (5-15 minutes) and draw their lottery number.
