It’s crazy to think of how far we’ve gone from a couple of years ago in the field of technology. From no Facebook, smartphones, or even the huge company known as Google today, we’ve come a long way. It was nice of Professor Schwartz to come and speak to us about the new developments at the new tech school in NYC that remind us to keep our minds open for the future.

The Jacobs Institute at Cornell Tech aims to teach students how to be leaders in this evolving technological world. the school wants to teach them skills in leadership, management, technology, and entrepreneurship with hopes to teach students technology’s human side. Through this, the goal is to enable techies to communicate with non-techies, which I think is important as well, especially across generations.

I additionally like the option to work with healthcare and technology because it appeals to those who want to make an impact in the medical field and do not necessarily want to be a doctor. Another aspect of the Jacobs Institute that was appealing was the fact that students get to work with companies on real projects. This is great exposure and real world application, which in my opinion is super valuable.

It will be nice to see the future success and technological advancements and just how much they will change our lives. The tech school will be a great addition to the Cornell University brand. I await its great impact on the world of technology (healthcare, business and the humanistic components essential to technology inclusive) in the coming years.
