These opportunities and challenges arise from a common source. Located in eight of Cornell's eleven colleges on the Ithaca campus, the faculty in the social sciences number between 400 and 500 at the professorial level alone. Faculty are found in the endowed, the state-assisted, and the professional schools. They engage not only in basic and applied research but also in a broad range of extension activities. Their interests are disciplinary and interdisciplinary, domestic and international. Their approaches are quantitative and qualitative: they overlap at one end with the natural and computational sciences and at the other with the arts and humanities. They are fully engaged with both of Cornell's dual, and occasionally dueling, personalities "elite" Ivy League institution and "Land-Grant" university of the State of New York.462377 bytes466544 bytes483674 bytes461645 bytes502702 bytes549344 bytes583320 bytes584622 bytes520864 bytes576598 bytes525123 bytes584010 bytes541715 bytes573116 bytes537199 bytes496957 bytes529509 bytes537793 bytes619336 bytes2896 bytesapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/htmlen-USResearch JournalSocial Sciencesperiodical
