Description of Experience with and/or Planned Approaches to Working with Diverse Communities in Research, Teaching, Service and/or Outreach
In 1868, Ezra Cornell wrote, “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” Over 150 years later, Cornell faculty members, staff and students still strive to welcome students, faculty and staff from all walks of life, without regard to income, race, religion, political viewpoint, ethnicity, age, gender or perceived physical disability. For more than 150 years, talented scholars, representing the spectrum of humanity, have received a world-class education and opportunities at Cornell.
To continue to meet our educational, research and service goals and to meet our commitment to our founding principle, we hire and invest in faculty members who share our historical commitment to pursing knowledge for …any person…in any study. We ask applicants for all faculty positions to share their experiences and/or approaches (past, current or future) to fostering learning, research, service and/or outreach in such a diverse community. Applicants can submit a stand-alone statement or embed the information in other parts of their application materials.
