Public engagement has been a pillar of Cornell’s mission for more than 150 years. Today, through highly acclaimed initiatives such as Engaged Cornell, the university is bringing together students, faculty, staff, and community members to seek solutions to some of the world's greatest challenges. Provost Mike Kotlikoff and a panel of engaged Cornellians and community partners discuss how these partnerships are providing unique engaged learning opportunities for Cornell students, while simultaneously addressing complex societal issues, both in Ithaca and around the globe.
