Since its inception in the Fall of 2010, Cornell Business Review has brought together creative and entrepreneurial students to provide readers with timely, investigative articles. We focus on both Cornell and business around the world to realize goal from the start has been to encourage students, faculty, and the Cornell community to “Join the Conversation.”
We would like to thank Cornell for its financial support, our advisor Deborah Streeter for her consistent guidance, and our Alumni Board for their continued involvement. Further, we greatly appreciate Amit Bhatia and Sydney Izen for giving our readers thought-provoking and insightful interviews.
Welcome to the Fall 2017 Issue of Cornell Business Review. It is my honor to present our best issue yet. I wrote that last semester, but with this semester’s finished product in front of me, I am compelled to write it again.
More than ever, our work this semester has reflected that continued pursuit. With 40 members divided into Business, Editorial, and Design teams, we completed an issue with insightful, nuanced pieces, all while working on CBR Now, a weekly newsletter with interviews, articles, campus events, and more. In the 15th issue of the Cornell Business Review, we cover a myriad of topics, including the rise of medical tourism, bikesharing’s viral spread across the globe, and Cornell’s involvement in the historic housing issues on and around our Ithaca campus. This semester, we had the honor and privilege of interviewing two prominent alumni. An exclusive interview
Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to our wonderful members. I owe the organization’s continued success to their irreplaceable talent and drive. As my tenure as Editor-in-Chief draws to a close, I am filled with optimism for the publication’s future and look forward to reading CBR’s work for years to come. In the meantime, enjoy the Fall 2017 issue!
