Making Strides

Most students of color ever enter Cornell's freshman class

The Class of 2013 is the most racially and ethnically diverse class since Cornell began tracking such statistics. more

Cornell is committed to extending its legacy of recruiting a heterogeneous faculty, student body and staff; fostering a climate that doesn't just tolerate differences but treasures them; and providing rich opportunities for learning from those differences. To that end, each of Cornell's constituent assemblies endorsed the Statement on Diversity and Inclusiveness, "Open Doors, Open Hearts, and Open Minds." The current site is designed to let you know what we are doing, how we are doing and how you can get involved.

Our Diversity Goals

2. to ensure faculty, staff, students and administration have access to the knowledge and conceptual frameworks required to think critically about human diversity.
3. to ensure that our community embraces and supports individuals from all racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual orientation, class, disability, and nationality groups in their chosen pursuits.
4. to ensure that individuals from all backgrounds achieve to their full potential.
