Welcome from Alice Pell
Vice Provost for International Relations
“Bringing the World to Cornell and Cornell to the World”
Welcome to the International Gateway website! Cornell has maintained an interest in broadening our understanding of the world around us since its first president, Andrew Dickson White took office. In the era of globalization, Cornell’s international activities have become even more important. It is our mission to continue Cornell’s efforts to bring the world to Cornell by educating our students about the world around them and to bring Cornell to the world through teaching, outreach, and research abroad.
The intention of this site is to provide “one-stop shopping” for all things international whether you are a member of the Cornell community looking for information on campus-based international programs, an international student seeking information on study at Cornell, a researcher interested in one of Cornell’s international centers or its international research collaborations, or a visitor to the site curious about the scope of Cornell’s international activities.
These pages will also serve as the main communication hub with links to up-to-date international travel policy and forms, the international travel portal, resources such as Gannett’s travel clinic, international insurance coverage, the U.S. Department of State travel site and much, much more. We invite you to explore this site to fully understand the breadth of Cornell’s international relations. If you have questions, please feel free to direct them to our office by calling 607-255-7993 or by email to Linda Schmidt at lms10@cornell.edu. Thank you.
