LGBTQ+ CNG

Welcome!

The mission of the Cornell University LGBTQ Colleague Network Group is to raise awareness about workplace issues faced by LGBTQIA faculty and staff; provide networking opportunities for LGBTQIA faculty and staff and a forum to discuss topics of mutual interest and innovative solutions with senior leaders; and to support the recruitment and retention of LGBTQIA faculty and staff.

What we do:

Our group meets monthly for lunch and socializing. Our meetings usually feature a presentation or facilitated discussion. We also network with external LGBTQIA groups and organize events, fundraisers, and volunteer opportunities to support our community.

  • Meetings & Events

    Please join our LGBTQ+ mailing list (aka, list-serv) to stay informed!  

    Virtual Monthly Gatherings

    Please join us the second Friday of each month from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Our gatherings are a space to connect, foster community, and learn from one another and external speakers or presentations.  

    We gather at slightly different dates in January, June and August to allow for the start of the semester and PRIDE.  

    Join us in our typical Zoom Room.

    Pride

    Our CNG engages with community organizations, such as the Ithaca Pride Alliance, focused on celebrating PRIDE. We host PRIDE  and community events at various times throughout the year.
