Through DIGIVATIONS’ FUTURES Module designed to foster 360º growth and development of each person with a focus on key aspects of college preparatory education and future college and career planning. Those who choose to may engage us to explore their child's interests and comfortably guide them to a path that enables them to emerge as leaders expanding on all their talents intellectually and kinesthetically. Our NASA award winning programs open up exciting windows of interdisciplinary knowledge and opportunity which naturally motivates a connection between each person's interests and the broader world. They develop personal perceptions of how and why their lives matter, and how they can make a positive difference in their own community and the world. They become empowered to recognize that they can channel their own interests and motivations into making a difference at their age and beyond.
Thank you for the opportunity of allowing us to facilitate your children’s and teens' dreams and academic goals.
Warmest Regards,
Dr. Steven Lee Berman & Anne Deane Berman, Ph.D. & Jacob Berman

Meals, Lessons, Merchandise
Summer Program Dining at Cornell University
Residential and Commuter participants pay for the unlimited Cornell meal plan when they register. Cornell Dining takes food allergies, intolerances and other special dietary needs seriously. Our culinary teams are trained annually on safe preparation of allergen free meals and we are passionate about finding safe options for our students. In our Residential Dining Locations, we label for the major allergens (soy, egg, milk, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish and sesame) that are inherently found in our menu options. We also identify areas of high risk for our students with food allergies including foods produced in shared oil, and at high risk for cross contact including baked goods and ice cream. We have purple allergy awareness signage throughout our dining halls to help identify areas of high risk. You can learn more about our process here. If you or your child is sensitive or allergic to an item that Cornell does NOT label for, or if Cross Contact is a concern, please fill out the form here at least 14 days prior to the guest’s arrival date so that we can provide appropriate options for you/your child.
