The Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy is dedicated to advancing the well-being of all people. We develop new approaches to solve pressing global policy challenges, provide rigorous training for the next generation of policy leaders, and engage in policymaking around the globe.

The Brooks School was founded to unify Cornell’s wide-ranging expertise in policy research, education, and engagement. As a world-class institution, we’re positioned to tackle the complex global policy problems of our time.
