Through dedicated teams of school and college staff and faculty who focus on diversity and inclusion, the College of Business is uniquely positioned to prepare our students to join and lead organizations that are constantly evolving in composition.
We facilitate learning opportunities for faculty, staff, and students to embrace different experiences, cultures, educational backgrounds, and social identities. Here our community contributes to an environment that leans into authenticity—encouraging each other to lead the charge to affect change and reduce the gaps of inequity in business.
Our goal is to empower the SC Johnson College of Business community by equipping them with essential tools needed to cultivate an inclusive environment—importantly transcending from skillset to mindset.
We strive to make our strategic vision for diversity and inclusion the standard that our peers seek to emulate.
Leadership across the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business has identified several actionable commitments to combat racism and promote diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging.
The Dyson School, the Johnson Graduate School of Management, and the School of Hotel Administration (SHA) have each developed a set of antiracism action items, which will be executed in addition to college-wide initiatives. Learn more about each school’s commitment to antiracism.
Interim Dean McLaughin discusses proposed training and programming and unity in antiracism commitments across Dyson’s offices.
Dean Nelson addresses four areas of antiracism commitment: community, impact, resources and programming, and accountability.
Dean Walsh outlines antiracism commitments related to faculty/staff, student leadership, programming, and industry engagement.
In seeking to empower all members of our community to embrace diversity and act as ambassadors in their individual pursuits—be it here or afar—we strive to consistently model a diverse, inclusive environment. As an integral part of our community, and through the experiences our students have with our diversity and inclusion initiatives, each member is emboldened to shape the future and make a real impact on the industries they enter and the communities they join.
