Who We Are
The ILR Ithaca Co-Lab officially began its work in early 2020. Its work is carried out by researchers and students coordinated by its director, Ian Greer. We serve the community partners that include the Tompkins County Worker Center,
Legal Assistance of Western New York, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Tompkins County Workforce Development Board. For support in getting started, we thank the Office for Engaged Initiatives (Engaged Cornell) and our ‘big sister’ ILR Co-Lab in Buffalo.
