Graduate & Professional Student Diversity Council Values Statement
We are a coalition of student organizations taking action to advance a sense of community, and academic and professional excellence for all graduate and professional students.
Graduate & Professional Student Diversity Council Mission: Community. Empowerment. Solidarity.
Community: To foster a sense of belonging within and across academic programs, disciplines, identities, and communities; and to develop connections beyond Cornell with members and organizations within the greater surrounding area.
Empowerment: To lift up one another and help each other demystify, navigate, re-imagine, and transform academia. To increase awareness of the agency we possess and how to employ that agency to positively influence the academic, professional, and personal progression of all members of our communities.
Solidarity: To leverage our strength as a collective and to serve as a source of support to members of communities historically underrepresented in the academy.
