Based in Ithaca, N.Y., the David M. Einhorn Center for Community Engagement builds service and community- engaged learning as a hallmark of the Cornell student experience by empowering students through campus and community collaborations to create a more just and equitable world. The center plays a key role supporting community- engaged learning and public service across the university.
