More than 80 Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) educators from across New York State gathered on campus April 15-17 for the annual Cornell Human Ecology In-Service.

CCE connects communities with Cornell University research from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and the College of Human Ecology (CHE). It facilitates partnerships among faculty and researchers, CCE staff and leadership, community partners, and students that advance the university’s land-grant mission. CHE’s collaborations focus on youth

Cornell Human Ecology is proud to welcome five new faculty members whose expertise reflects the breadth of the college’s interdisciplinary mission to improve human health and well-being through science, policy and design.

Their research spans topics such as how people make judgments in legal settings, the molecular mechanisms underlying human milk production, and how design can support aging in place, advancing the college’s commitment to connecting discovery and impact across the social, biological and design

Each summer, Cornell Human Ecology students have the chance to learn outside the classroom and gain real-world experience through internships, research with faculty and other opportunities.
