Cornell University Student on this
Um, i cannot speak for the rest of the page, but a Cornell University Regional THIS year, in my opinion, is extremely unlikely. Dean Kamen came here October 30th and spoke about him WANTING a regional, but that was it. We are trying our best to convince the administration that having a regional is a good idea, but the beuracracy here is extremely slow, so i don't think they could make a decision like this if it had only been in the works for a few weeks. Secondly, i would think myself and the team leader on my team would have heard something from the Associate Dean of Engineering in our meeting with her last wednesday if there was was indeed going to be a regional. She didn't even mention anything about cornell being interested in a cornell Regional. We are trying to get some statistics on the feasibility of having a regional, such as posting a thread on this page about who would be interested in having a regional, as well as getting contact info from the people at other universities on their ordeals about making a regional happen, but these have all been done by we the students. I might be completely wrong, and we might have been in the dark as far as having a regional as everyone else, but i doubt it.
