 What is Cornell University and what is the Office of Global Learning?

Cornell University, unique among peers, is the federal land-grant institution of New York State, a private endowed university, and a member of the Ivy League.

As such, we share the mission of developing and supporting global learning activities across the Cornell University community—in Ithaca, New York City, and the world.

Our team coordinates education abroad experiences for Cornell students, advises international students and scholars on federal immigration and labor regulations, supports the engagement and success of international students and scholars into the Cornell community, and promotes cross-cultural competency on campus and beyond.
