Student Communities

Individuals are central to our notion of community, and it’s the collection of inspiring students, dedicated faculty, and caring
administrators who make Cornell a community that is easy to call home. Below we’ve compiled a list of communities that our graduate
students typically join in order to encourage your active participation in the broader university community.

information about the LGBT community at Cornell, and ways to become involved.

campus community by supporting women students in their personal and educational pursuits at Cornell.

General Clubs, Engagement, and Community-Building Opportunities
