Who We Are

PhDs at Cornell Tech (PACT) is a student organization that serves the needs and represents the interests of all doctoral students at Cornell Tech. We arrange social events, furnish and maintain PhD facilities, provide information and support for student life, organize student-centric academic symposia, and liaison with outside groups. PACT’s mission is two-fold: First, we advocate for PhD student interests, concerns, and needs to faculty, administration, and GPSA, the overall graduate student body. Secondly, we aim to serve and strengthen our community of PhD students.

Recent Meetings

The PACT board has meetings typically every two weeks at least during the Fall and Spring semesters. These meetings are open to all PhD students, and attending is one of the best ways to get involved. If you have a cause or item that you particularly care about, you can discuss it with your Departmental Rep, Strategic Officer, or a President to get it added to the meeting’s agenda in advance.
