Welcome to the Diversity Programs in Engineering Office!
The diverse nature of our campus is a pillar of Cornell Engineering. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and the issues we face become more globally intertwined, Cornell Engineering's longstanding commitment to the development of a diverse community of students, faculty, researchers, and staff has become more vital than ever.
The College of Engineering has always defined diversity broadly, incorporating varying geographic, intellectual ethnic, cultural, academic, and social elements that make our world a more vibrant place. The college's commitment to a global view of diversity is an important element in ensuring that our teaching remains connected to real-world problems, our research remains relevant and cutting-edge, and our social composition includes a variety of voices, thoughts, ideas, and opinions.
The Office of Diversity Programs provides a variety of services for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty members. Some of our student services includes advising, tutoring, corporate-networking opportunities, social meetings, and a state-of-the-art computer lab. We are home to four of the most active student organization on the Engineering Quad and gather the college community together annually to honor our students for their efforts and triumphs. We also service our faculty members through annual conferences, strategic committees, and mentoring programs.
We invite you to browse our website and learn more about us and the important role we play in the College of Engineering. Our staff is here to assist you. If you have any questions about the services we provide, or how we can help you, please do not hesitate to contact us!
