Pollack<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">A core part of Cornell\u2019s mission is to educate new generations of global citizens: graduates equipped with the broad knowledge, the cultural competence, and the expansive outlook to understand the complexities and meet the challenges of a rapidly changing and increasingly volatile world\u2014one in which both major societal challenges and opportunities have a global dimension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever our students\u2019 future path, the ability to think globally, and understand local issues in their global context, is essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To build the skills a global perspective requires, Cornell provides and supports international experiences for our students, including semester-long <a href=\"https:\/\/abroad.globallearning.cornell.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study-abroad programs<\/a> in which, increasingly, students learn side by side with local peers. Every Cornell college and school now provides opportunities for engaging in research and education abroad, and the University also offers both summer- and winter-session opportunities for students to pursue coursework, internships, and research with partners abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Whatever our students\u2019 future path, the ability to think globally, and understand local issues in their global context, is essential.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Here on campus, a wide array of international coursework and additional programming offer our community in Ithaca opportunities to deepen their global understanding and expertise\u2014for example, through the weekly seminars from the <a href=\"https:\/\/einaudi.cornell.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies<\/a>, which alone reach some 16,000 participants each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing a global outlook requires not only the knowledge gained through formal study and research, but also the experience of living, working, and learning alongside people of different backgrounds.  Cornell\u2019s academic excellence attracts stellar faculty, staff, and students from around the world, creating the extraordinarily diverse community that is essential to our ability to provide a global education in central New York State. We work actively to support our global community on campus, with a student-focused team in International Services offering assistance with everything from new-student orientation to post-graduation visa guidance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cornell hosts more than 1,000 international visiting students and scholars each year, including those at risk from other nations, and increasing numbers of students on reciprocal exchanges who come to Cornell from the peer institutions where our students are studying abroad. On the national level, we advocate consistently for international students and scholars, highlighting their many contributions and ensuring that our government is aware of the importance of this community to Cornell and to our nation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Cornell hosts more than 1,000 international visiting students and scholars each year, including those at risk from other nations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>As a world-class research university, Cornell looks globally to foster the international collaboration that enables us to tackle complex problems. This year, to further build and strengthen that work, we began the launch of our <a href=\"https:\/\/global.cornell.edu\/hub\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Global Hubs<\/a>: long-term, strategic, University-wide partnerships with peer institutions around the world that will bring new opportunities for all members of our Cornell community, in Ithaca and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Global Hubs will support a range of new international connections for Cornell, such as faculty research collaborations and student exchanges, while building connections to policymakers, NGOs, the private sector, and local communities. All of these connections will enhance Cornell\u2019s academic distinction through its research and its education, and also help to build a stronger global ecosystem of higher education: an ecosystem which I see as increasingly central to the future of our society and our planet, and in which Cornell already plays a leading role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Top: Photo by Jason Koski \/ Cornell University<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Published January 17, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cornell embraces a global mindset\u2014from welcoming international students to partnering with peer institutions abroad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":68,"featured_media":950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"alumni_hub_syml_posts":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"cornell_year_post":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-15467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-from-the-president"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
