Our Commitment

Mission and Vision

  • Promote the recruitment and retention of a talented and diverse medical and graduate student body, particularly from populations underrepresented in science (URiS) and medicine (URiM)
  • Ensure that all students inclusive of gender, sexual, racial, ethnic, cultural, political, and religious identity and background, have a genuine sense of belonging in the Weill Cornell Medicine community
  • Help students achieve their highest potential for scholarly excellence and career advancement
  • Engage and support community service and outreach both in medicine and science to underserved communities
