Education for Social Impact

eCornell collaborates with organizations that share our mission to improve lives and society through education. Our goal is simple: Extend the reach and impact of Cornell to underserved audiences, delivering high quality learning opportunities to individuals and groups who might otherwise never be able to access them.

We recognize that Cornell cannot meet its public impact goals alone. This initiative requires strong and sustainable relationships with a variety of partners – including non-profit, governmental and funding organizations – that focus on meeting local, national and international social needs.

“eCornell’s programs have been a game-changer for underserved and justice-impacted individuals. They provide critical skills, knowledge, and opportunities that empower our community to break barriers and build a stronger future.”

Corey Marionneaux

Black Men Coalition, CEO

“The program was very beneficial, given how much I learned. I wish I had done this in the beginning. I would have framed and started the business differently.”

Abena Foli

Bank of America Institute For Women’s Entrepreneurship

“It changed everything. None of my close friends are going to college, I probably would’ve been the same. It showed me what was out there, what I could do.”

Donovan Blount

National Education Equity Lab

“This program gave me the tools to communicate more effectively in the U.S. legal context and the confidence to keep moving forward in my career.”

“

If I had to sum up this experience in just one word, it would be Confidence! 'Take the Lead' provided me with the confidence I needed to realign my career plan, refine my brand and enhance the positive impact I want to bring to my team. I highly recommend the program to all women who aim to boost their careers and stand out in the market!
