Community and Support Post-Graduation

Alumni affinity networks and diversity groups.

Each year, Cornell Law alumni and current students meet in New York City for a reception that allows alumni in the area to reconnect with each other and to provide insight and helpful advice to students. The Dean of Students Office arranges transportation from and back to Ithaca so that students can attend this worthwhile event.

Law Dean’s Advisory Council:

Established by the Cornell University Board of Trustees in 1958, this body is charged with providing input and advice to the dean on a range of matters important to the educational mission of the school. The primary criterion for appointment to the council is a record of outstanding professional achievement coupled with outstanding service to the Law School community. 

Alumni Executive Board of Directors:

This board was established to foster a close association between Cornell Law School and its alumni, and among its alumni, to promote the interest and welfare of the Law School and to promote the practice of law and the highest standards of learning and ethics in the legal profession. The membership reflects the diversity of Cornell Law’s students, including but not limited to alumni of color, women, and those who identify as LGBTQ.
