Welcome to Cornell: A Guide for Staff and Faculty
Welcome to Cornell. We're glad you're here.
What is it like to work, conduct research or teach at Cornell? It is a
road of discovery, a place where staff, faculty, and students go about their
daily lives with an uncommon sense of larger purpose and contribute creative
ideas, diverse perspectives and new approaches to further the university's
mission of teaching, research, and outreach. It is a way of shaping the
future by contributing either directly or indirectly to the experiences
of the students of today.
The Welcome to Cornell Guide highlights many of the resources and enriching opportunities that are available and of interest to a broad range of staff, faculty, and retirees in the Cornell community. Every effort has been made to provide accurate information. Check the web sites noted for more current information.
