Who we are
Forté Campus at Cornell was founded under the Forté Foundation with the aim to act as a liaison between Cornell students and the global network. The organization aims to foster professional development through a robust club curriculum and promote fellowship through social events on campus. Our members are undergraduate women and their allies striving to become the next future leaders and innovators of the professional world, acting as on-campus leaders and fostering lifelong friendships. Our organization is open to members from every background and any major, and the support and mentorship our members receive are irreplaceable.
Our mission and values
We want to build a supportive community for Cornell undergraduate women interested in business, where they can develop personal and professional skills through education, mentorship, and networking resources.
We value empowering women to pursue their diverse interests and foster new relationships through learning in every facet of life, whether it be personal or professional. We strive to create a supportive, open-minded, intimate community of motivated women, who are inspired to give back to the organization.
Our commitment to diversity & inclusion
At Forté, we prioritize creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for students of all backgrounds. With professional development as one of our core focuses, we believe that our differences are what help us to shine and uniquely contribute to the workplace. It is important to us that all our members and potential applicants feel both valued and comfortable. We foster this through pre-recruitment workshops and training, a D&I committee, and an openness to any feedback on our practices. Forté is a space for any Cornell students to grow professionally, regardless of race, sexual orientation, birth-assigned gender, socioeconomic status, country of origin, disability status, or any of the distinctions that make us who we are.
