To further foster the intertwining of educational excellence and social responsibility, Cornell has announced the new Center for Community Engaged Learning and Research. The center, which will be funded for its first three years through a gift from the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust (David Einhorn ’91 and Cheryl Strauss-Einhorn ’91) and with support from the Office of the Provost and the Division of Student and Academic Services, will be the core academic unit that connects public engagement to Cornell’s educational mission.

A first-rate education, includes civic responsibility as well as academic preparation.... With the right programs in place, our schools can provide a wonderful opportunity for students to come together and learn the skills that will keep our democracy strong.
