ILR School Executive HR Programs

CAHRS Members Receive Discounts on Professional 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:

Cornell Senior Leader Programs

Modern Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) - Now in its fourth year, this program helps you to reassess your organization’s diversity, equity and inclusion strategies and seize on strategic opportunities to address the potential challenges of a polarizing election on the workforce, reaffirm and align organizational commitments, and overcome resistance to enable business results. This program is ideal for accomplished business leaders who have the same goal of evolving their DE&I strategies and measuring results that matter to the business to accelerate the organizational benefits.
