As Cornellians, we all have a responsibility to create a better world. Working directly through educational programs, research, and cross-cultural dialogue, we work to build a strong and diverse Cornell community with an emphasis on equity and inclusion.
By supporting any of these funds, you can aid in the charge to create a community where everyone has the same opportunities to grow, learn, and thrive:
Cornell University leads the way in important research through the Center for the Study of Inequality (CSI). The center delves into evidence-based social and economic inequality research, striving to identify patterns and causes. Your support will allow undergraduate and graduate students at the center to continue sharing their ideas with each other, and with the public—sparking real change.
Cornell’s Intergroup Dialogue Project works with departments and programs university-wide to start difficult conversations. Their mission? To facilitate dialogue across differences. Your gifts support this peer-to-peer outreach and programming, allowing more Cornellians to get involved in workshops, classes, and training.
The Office of Academic Diversity Initiatives (OADI) supports Cornell students of all backgrounds, including low-income students, first-generation students, under-represented students of color. Programs and events through OADI provide students with the support they need to complete their degrees and meet their personal goals. Your gifts make this possible.
The Cornell Intercultural Center promotes programs that support and bring together Cornell's diverse student community. The Intercultural Center is committed to working broadly on aspects of access, equity, and social justice at Cornell, as well as building a sense of community among students and creating opportunities to explore the intersectionality of identity development.
The mission of Student Development Diversity Initiatives (SDDI) is to support students in the development of their social and cultural identities. SDDI is proud to carry out identity work with a focus on race and ethnicity while consciously embracing the intersectionality of our students’ identities, including gender, sexuality, ability, class, and first-generation status.
Join Cornell University’s efforts to address the most urgent needs of our students experiencing financial hardship as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and social distancing.
