Audience

The primary audiences for the institute are Cornell University graduate students and postdocs interested in faculty and academic career pathways and committed to advancing access to higher education and supporting inclusive learning, mentoring, and research environments.

Also invited to participate in the institute are scholars external to Cornell with any of the following affiliations:

• Sloan University Centers for Exemplary Mentoring
• Sloan Indigenous Graduate Partnerships
• Edward A. Bouchet Graduate Honor Society
• Institutional partners of the Equity in Graduate Education Consortium
• Mentee of a Future Professors Institute Speaker or Panelist (mentees who are current graduate students or postdoctoral scholars)

There is no cost to attend; however, this is a space-limited event. In the event that we have more registrants than spaces, priority consideration will be given to late-stage graduate students and postdocs.
