CIT’s Infrastructure division provides the foundational technology, expertise, and support to enable Cornell’s mission in all its complex manifestations.

CIT's Video Engineering and Event Services team provides infrastructure, applications, and services that enable omnichannel delivery of the university's teaching, research, and outreach missions.

Cornell University, unique among peers, is the federal land-grant institution of New York State, a private endowed university, and a member of the Ivy League. Information technologies (IT) is a strategic enabler for many functions at Cornell. Staff working in IT are found in most colleges and units across Cornell.
