Cornell Public Affairs Society

The Cornell Public Affairs Society (CPAS) is the student professional organization of the Cornell Institute for Public Affairs. Attending and participating in national public policy conferences, career development seminars, and alumni outreach events are an integral part of student activity.  CPAS co-sponsors several policy seminars and roundtable discussions on campus each year. 

CPAS also organizes a number of social events for CIPA fellows including orientation receptions, holiday celebrations, the annual International Party, picnics, and a multitude of other events.  The Society's activities are as diverse as the fellows themselves.  As a student-run organization, CPAS affords every fellow the opportunity to initiate debate, as well as personally affect the direction and focus of the organization.  Their website can be accessed by clicking here.

CPAS officers are elected each November, take office in January, and serve for one calendar year.
