Fostering an inclusive environment is a core value of the Computer Science Department and Cornell as a whole. See Bowers CIS activities in this area. In line with Cornell’s historical commitment to educating “ … any person … in any study…”, we seek candidates who will create a climate that is inclusive of all students, including students from historically underrepresented groups and students who have overcome personal challenges.
