A unit in the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, the Intergroup Dialogue Project (IDP) at Cornell University develops and leads multi-phase and multi-party educational opportunities that are rooted in core intergroup dialogue processes and tailored to the needs of different constituencies on campus. By creating optimal conditions for intergroup interactions and meaningful peer-to-peer academic learning, our team members play a key role in the expansion of undergraduate diversity education at Cornell.

Intergroup dialogue found its way to Cornell in the fall of 2012, where it was first offered in the form of a semester-long academic course for undergraduate students. The success of this course has inspired campus stakeholders to expand beyond the academic semester-long model, as well as to provide innovative offerings for graduate and professional students, postdocs, faculty, staff, and alumni. Recent initiatives include the implementation of a mandatory IDP session during orientation for all incoming undergraduate students, year-long course for academic advisors, tailored programs for academic departments and academic leadership, innovative collaborations with Cornell colleges, and several new courses for undergraduate students.
