Kerri Lai

Kerri joined CALS in 2020 after spending time at SUNY Buffalo and Penn State University. As a first-generation college student, Kerri’s academic journey profoundly shaped her career path. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and Anthropology from SUNY Cortland, and a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration from SUNY Buffalo. She enjoys helping students navigate the bureaucratic higher education system and uses an asset-based approach to helping students accomplish their goals. She considers it a privilege to meet CALS students where they are at and to support them through their Cornell journey. When she’s not in the office, Kerri can be found exploring, gardening, reading, and spending time with family.
