Members are encouraged to join a Council working group. A brief survey will be sent at the beginning of the term year to gather your interests and identify the working group that best aligns with your interest(s).
Development
The Development Working Group is responsible for making sure that every member of Council is contributing to the University at a level that is comfortable to them.
Diversity and Inclusion (D&I)
The Diversity and Inclusion Working Group focuses on making sure that all of our members feel like they belong.
Engagement
Members of the Cornell University Council Engagement Working Group educate Council members about their role as influencers, encouraging alumni, parents and friends to engage or re-engage with the University. The committee members will leverage their networks to help support the university’s campaign engagement goals. In addition this committee helps to distribute a Council newsletter twice a year and promote TCAM attendance.
