Initiatives Across the University
AAP Einhorn Engaged College
As part of the Einhorn Center’s Engaged College Initiative, the college is focused on what community engagement means for our disciplines. This includes establishing community-engaged curricular and cocurricular offerings, research, and creative projects, and sustaining long-term initiatives that embed an ethos of engagement in our pedagogies.
The Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability
The Atkinson Center is a hub for collaborative sustainability research at Cornell. Our partnership includes sponsored research and academic appointments that forge vital connections to advance shared goals among researchers, students, staff, and external partners.
The Cornell Council for the Arts
The Cornell Council for the Arts (CCA) is a campuswide cultural organization, and the college stewards regular grants for AAP students, faculty, and staff that continue advancing creative work and public discourse on the contemporary arts at Cornell.
Mellon Collaborative Studies
The Mellon Collaborative Studies in Architecture, Urbanism, and the Humanities currently supports a seminar series led by AAP faculty that addresses social and racial justice in American urban environments.
Partnerships Beyond Campus
Beyond campus, we form partnerships with communities, non-profits, policymakers, and industry to advance engaged learning, applied research, and make a positive impact on the world and society. Some of our recent and longstanding partners include Autodesk, Slum Dwellers International, and local organizations in and around the Finger Lakes and Upstate New York area, empowering communities at home, across the country, and around the world to imagine and make a more just, equitable, and resilient world.
