The Telluride House at Cornell is now accepting applications for the 2009-2010 academic year, and we encourage anyone who is currently a student at Cornell or hopes to be one next year to apply.
Telluride prides itself on its commitment to intellectual engagement, self governance, and community living, and we are searching for applicants who will embody these ideals while living in the house.
The application itself, which is available at the bottom of this post, is designed to be challenging but not intimidating. It includes several specific questions and essays, and gives candidates freedom to show how they can contribute to the Telluride House at Cornell on their own terms. The House has accepted members as much for their artistic portfolios as for their essays and interviews. We prefer applicants who plan to live in the House for more than one year. At the bottom of this post, you can find two applications: One is for current Cornell undergraduates, current or future graduate students, and transfer students, and the other is for secondary school students currently applying for undergraduate studies at Cornell. Students who have previously participated in Telluride or Deep Springs programs should obtain specific instructions from the Preferment Committee.
Applications for current or future Cornell students are due Friday, September 30, 2008, and candidates will receive notification about interviews on October 9. Interviews will take place either in person or by phone between October 18 and October 21, and final decisions will be made by the end of October.
We prefer email submissions in a single attached document to cbta.apply@tellurideassociation.org and telluride@tellurideassociation.org. If mailing, please postmark several days before the due date. The House’s mailing address is Telluride House, attn: PreferCom, 217 West Avenue, Ithaca, NY 14850.
We encourage you to contact our Preferment Committee (cbta.apply@telluridassociation.org) about House events you would like to attend or for any other information regarding the House or the application process.
