Our Foundation In and Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment that celebrates diverse perspectives and honors all identities. From meeting AACSB’s rigorous community standards to recognizing Indigenous communities and providing resources for every individual, we aim to foster belonging, empowerment, and respect for all members of our community.
Inclusion and AACSB Accreditation
The SC Johnson College is one of just 6 percent of schools globally to meet the rigorous Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation standards. Community and connectedness are key components of this accreditation. We’re proud to uphold these standards for all within our community.
The Cayuga Nation: Honoring Indigenous Communities
We recognize and honor the land on which we live, work, and learn. Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫɁ (the Cayuga Nation). We encourage you to learn more about these lands and Cornell’s continual impact as it relates to Indigenous land dispossession.
An Open Door for All: Celebrating Every Identity
At the SC Johnson College Office of Diversity and Inclusion, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where every individual is welcomed, valued, and supported. Our events, activities, and initiatives are designed to serve and uplift the entire college community, ensuring that students from all backgrounds feel included and empowered.
