Mission and Vision
The mission of the Office of Student Diversity (OSD) at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) is to:
- 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
