Cornell University Students Host Inaugural Undergraduate Philosophy Conference

Students are organizing Cornell’s first undergraduate philosophy conference March 23, which will include students from Northeastern University, New York University, Barnard College, Cornell and other campuses.

Sophie Gottfried ‘25, conference organizer, said she held a philosophy conference on Zoom in high school during the pandemic. “It was really, really rewarding, and everyone had an amazing time,” she said, adding that it is especially critical for students in college to have an experience like this, when students can opt into deep conversations “when people are discovering themselves.”
