OISE Student Leadership 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 for all members of our communities.
