About CSV
The Bay Area of California is home to approximately 10,000 Cornell alumni who live and work in a lifestyle of technology and entrepreneurship that the world defines as "Silicon Valley." To better serve these alumni, the university launched Cornell Silicon Valley (CSV) in 2000. CSV extends the vision of Cornell's first techpreneur, Ezra Cornell.
