Respect Statement

Diversity in the field of food science – in race, gender, sex, religion, language, ability, veteran status, place of origin, academic specialization, etc. – is an asset to our learning experience. As a result, we hope to provide an inclusive and welcoming space for our speakers to share their expertise. We want to reaffirm our commitment to speaking respectfully and mindfully to members of our Cornell community as well as our guests and note that individuals identifying with historically minoritized groups should not be expected to describe or provide perspective on these groups unless they themselves volunteer to relate their experiences. We value the scholarship of each of our speakers, and we invite our speakers in order to hear their unique contributions to the field.
