The professional staff of Human Ecology’s Office of Admissions, Student, and Career Development includes a director of multicultural programs who provides focus on efforts to recruit, enroll, retain, and graduate students of color, through such programs as:
- EOP, a program for New York State residents who are educationally and/or economically disadvantaged. All admitted EOP students are required to attend a six-week, university-wide pre-freshman summer program that introduces students to the Cornell campus, the academic rigors of college life, and the surrounding Ithaca community.
- COSEP, is the Committee on Special Educational Projects, administered by the University’s Office of Minority Educational Affairs.
- The Association for Students of Color, which unites Human Ecology’s multicultural students and provides a supportive foundation for their enrollment, retention, graduation, and career placement.
- The Human Ecology Peer Partnership Program, which provides mentorship through a network of faculty and upper-class students to incoming students of color, specifically during their first semester.
The College also offers academic, personal, and career counselling for all students. For more information or to make an appointment, contact the office at (607) 255-2532 or stop by MVR 172.
