The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies has helped students and scholars cross borders of language, culture, nationality, and academic discipline for more than half a century. Today Cornell is one of the most international universities in the world. The Einaudi Center is Cornell’s hub for campus engagement and global thinking and action. The center includes area studies programs on Africa, Europe, Latin America, and East, South, and Southeast Asia, and thematic programs on peace and conflict and Muslim societies. The Einaudi Center has identified five strategic objectives to guide its work. This annual report summarizes the major outcomes and achievements in support of those objectives during 2017-2018.
