Tips & Resources for the Summer Season
For Current Students and Summer Campus Visitors
Bicycle Safety
Biking is a great way to stay active and reduce traffic. Visibility is crucial — bike carefully and follow the rules of the road. Motorists can also review tips for sharing the road safely.
Gorge Safety
Please use caution when exploring Cornell’s gorges. Review the Gorge Safety resources to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable time exploring our natural surroundings.
Campus Emergency Preparedness
If there’s an active threat to life on campus, anticipate how to keep yourself and others safe with the Run, Hide, Fight approach. If you’re on or near campus and see criminal behavior, or something that is strange or looks out of place, say something. Help keep yourselves and the Cornell community safe.
Other Important Resources

As a health-promoting campus, Cornell recognizes that promoting the overall health and well-being of all students, staff, and faculty is foundational for academic, work, and life success. The Mental Health website supports the mental health and well-being of Cornell students, staff, and faculty with a wide range of resources.
Hazing Prevention
90% of Cornellians believe it is never okay to humiliate or intimidate new members of an organization or group. Despite this, you may come into contact with behaviors that do not make you comfortable. Review these hazing prevention resources to help you identify signs of hazing and how you can help to put a stop to it.
Alcohol and Other Drug Use
You may find yourself in a situation where you or others around you choose to take part in alcohol or other drug use. Review this information about alcohol and drug use among Cornellians, harm-reduction strategies for students, and safety resources to know.
