ILR School Executive HR Programs

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision prohibiting universities from considering race in the admissions decision-making process, many top companies are looking more closely at their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. Cornell ILR School’s DEI programs provide an opportunity to leverage a network of scholars and experts to learn emerging trends and identify proven strategies, practices, and initiatives. CAHRS offers a variety of programs for companies in the midst of revamping their diversity efforts. Members receive discounts on the following offerings:
