The ILR School is proud to partner with Cornell’s David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement in our efforts to enhance and expand the engaged learning opportunities available for ILR students. This school-wide initiative builds on ILR’s long-standing commitment to improving the lives of workers and advancing progressive outcomes for communities, unions and organizations. The cornerstone of this initiative is ILR’s Office of Engaged and Experiential Programs (OEEP), which coordinates an array of engaged and experiential learning and research opportunities for ILR students.

The ILR School is part of the Engaged College Initiative from the David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement. Through the initiative, the Einhorn Center provides three-year foundational block grants, consultations and training with the ultimate goal of building a long-term collaborative relationship that advances and sustains engaged learning within the school.

“Providing hands-on experiences for ILR students, both domestically and globally, does more than complement classroom learning, it shapes perspective, sharpens critical thinking and cultivates purpose. These transformative experiences equip students with the knowledge, skills and confidence to be thoughtful future leaders in the evolving world of work.”
