Inclusion

One of our core values is creating and fostering a community of belonging. Creating an inclusive environment enables all team members to feel empowered to bring their best self to work.

A Community of Belonging

From the Cornell University Core Values webpage: As a university founded to be a place where “…any person can find instruction…,” we value diversity and inclusion, and we strive to be a welcoming, caring, and equitable community where students, faculty, and staff with different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences can learn, innovate and work in an environment of respect, and feel empowered to engage in any community conversation.
