I am writing today to deliver more good news – you have been selected as a Cornell Tradition Fellow. The Cornell Tradition is one of three student recognition programs sponsored by the Cornell Commitment Office and recognizes students with a strong commitment to work, community service, and scholarship. Your selection is an added honor and distinction and you will be receiving more information very shortly in the mail regarding this recognition.

<p>What is this? Why did I get it?</p>

<p>Bump.
I got it too. My community work is probably why, but, what happens with this (other than to visit Cornell on the 15th)?</p>

<p>I also got that same email. I did some research and apparently it is quite an honor. Only about 500 Cornellians are part of this program. It helps connect the fellows with unique volunteer/internship opportunities but it requires quite a bit of work. Nonetheless, it’ll be worth it in the long run when filling out resumes for other internships/graduate school.</p>
