International students have consistently been left behind at every step of Cornell’s decision-making, whether in the admissions process or in support for career opportunities. If elected as International Students Representative, I will do everything in my power to change that.
   
Hi! My name is Darin Lee, and I am a sophomore from Hong Kong and Malaysia majoring in Global Development and Information Science in CALS. I am excited to run for International Students Representative on your Student Assembly, and I am committed to making Cornell a better place for the international students whose perspectives and experiences make this campus more diverse, vibrant, and globally connected.
   
If elected, I will focus on three things: stronger career resources for students pursuing opportunities both in the U.S. and internationally, including international alumni contact lists, networking events, and career panels; more intentional community-building across Cornell’s international student population through platforms such as ISA and other cultural organizations; and better communication around issues affecting international students, especially visa sponsorship and political developments.

College of Arts and Sciences

Class of 2029

My name is Tamar Tateladze, and I am a freshman at Cornell School of Arts & Sciences studying government. I am an international student from the country of Georgia.

I consider myself detail-oriented, quickly adaptable, a strong team player, consistent, and reliable.

I know how hard it is to live in a different country and feel like you have no support. That is why I am committed to fostering a strong international community at Cornell that helps and empowers one another. As your International Student Representative, I guarantee a reliable communication chain that ensures every international student voice is heard and accounted for.

As an active member of the Cornell International Student Association, where I currently advocate for the needs of international students, I believe this role will give me greater ability to work with administration and directly address our community’s needs.

Through my leadership experience and campus involvement, I am confident I am the right fit for this position. I am committed to dedicating my full attention to successfully serving as your International Student Representative.

I would be honored to have your support.
