Is ILR the right place for you?
Ask yourself this: Are you a problem solver? The peacemaker among classmates? The person everyone turns to when there's a mix-up, impasse, or disaster? If contemporary affairs, psychology, sociology, history, economics, and government are the classes that send intellectual sparks flying for you; if you are active in student government, political campaigns, peer mediation, mock trials, debate, or conflict resolution; if you think you might like to apply the social sciences to solving human problems—think about applying to Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations.
