Access & Community Empowerment

Cornell welcomes students, faculty, and staff with diverse backgrounds from across the globe to pursue world-class education and career opportunities. At Cornell AES we embrace diversity in all aspects of operations, facilities and research under our purview. Diversity encompasses the whole of human experience and includes race, ethnic and national origin, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, age, religion, economic status, political beliefs and veteran status. These important attributes reflect the complexity of our nation, which we strive to serve. We recognize and value the considerable workplace and societal benefits emanating from diversity in a multicultural world.

Cornell has a long tradition of supporting a diverse and inclusive educational environment, which extends to our workforce. With a founding principle of “... any person ... any study," Cornell is an equal opportunity employer.
