Does Your Business or Organization Have a Project for Students Centered Around Racial Equity?

If you would like a team of students assigned to you to work on a high-quality product or service with a lens of racial equity, please complete this brief form by August 1. The project scope, topic, focus is up to you so long as an overarching theme is racial equity.
Projects from last year include analyzing racial discrimination in food insecurity, developing an antiracism workshop for organizations, creating a health equity survey, developing an antiracism discussion guide, researching how to improve resident leadership, public health data analysis, fighting institutional racism in medicine, amongst others. How you choose to engage with students and have them work on a project of your choice is open to your needs. Contact Jen Majka at majka@cornell.edu with questions.
