Cornell University's International Gateway



Faculty


Photo contributed by CIIFAD

Cornell’s faculty is exceptional in its international orientation. Over 650 faculty members focus their research and teaching on some aspect of international studies and have direct research experience outside the United States. Thanks to the Cornell in Rome Program, for instance, a number of faculty from the College of Art, Architecture and Planning have undertaken long study periods in Rome and have developed research collaborations with local scholars in Italy. Another example is Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Professor, Catherine Drew Harvel, who has conducted research all over the world as the Chair of the Working Group on Global Coral Disease Assessment and Sustainability of Coral Reefs, a World Bank funded network concerned with preserving coral reefs around the world. This level of international involvement is not uncommon within any college or school at Cornell.

A considerably larger number of faculty members maintain professional links with institutions and colleagues abroad, even when their field is not specifically in international studies. These links, which are often informal, provide a number of benefits to Cornell. First, they create opportunities for students from Cornell who wish to study abroad. Second, they increase Cornell’s international visibility and encourage some of the best foreign students in the world to choose Cornell as their destination in the United States. And finally, they allow for a steady stream of international visitors who greatly enrich the intellectual life of the campus.
