Cornell SC Johnson College of Business Annual Fund

The Cornell SC Johnson College of Business represents the future of business. It’s an institution—and a culture—where tomorrow’s leaders are exploring the big ideas that will shape the future of industries and communities around the world. We comprise three distinct schools: the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, the Cornell Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration, and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management. Our students and faculty bring unique strengths, passions, and experience to our college, challenging one another to reimagine our potential to impact the world around us as leaders and trailblazers.

Annual fund gifts strengthen this vibrant and diverse community for learning by supporting groundbreaking research, stellar faculty, and unmatched experiential learning opportunities—all while opening doors to deserving students through life-changing scholarships and financial aid.

In the past, the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business Annual Fund has supported:

As tomorrow’s leaders in business, our students are searching for the answers that will improve the way we live, work, and learn—and they’re learning from the best. Our faculty are leading scholars in their fields. They’re pushing the boundaries of business education and research to turn critical thinking into practical solutions. Annual fund gifts help us recruit and retain faculty who are rising stars in their fields, and fund summer support for junior faculty across the college.

We believe that creating more opportunities to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings is the clearest way to show our students what building a better world looks like. Through immersive, hands-on experiences, like Dyson’s Grand Challenges Program, our students aren’t waiting to make an impact; they’re working alongside peers, faculty, and industry partners to tackle environmental, societal, and economic issues in our region and beyond.

Future priorities for the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business Annual Fund include:
