In addition, we are actively developing social impact initiatives, community discussions, and educational events in the Bay Area for a separate series focused on addressing sexual violence and survivor support. Our first event will be a Support Kit Assembly volunteer opportunity with Burlingame’s Rape Trauma Services in November 2026.

Want to Lead an Event?

Volunteers help keep the Cornell NorCal community strong and connected. If you have event planning experience, access to an event space, or another way to contribute, and would like to run or sponsor an event, email us.

If you’d like to nominate yourself for an opening on the Cornell NorCal Board of Directors, keep an eye out for position announcements in our weekly newsletter. Position openings are listed every spring, and the new board year begins on July 1st.
