Mission

The College's mission is to advance and improve the human experience by integrating academics, research and outreach in the areas of nutrition and health, design and technology, human development, and public policy.  Human Ecology's multidisciplinary units provide a distinct research and learning environment; one that fosters collaboration across Cornell's academic units, contributes to its disciplinary strengths in design, social and natural sciences and addresses the critical human challenges of the 21st century.
