Far beyond Cayuga's waters: the college's growing global influence.

From its earliest days, the College of Human Ecology has strived for a global impact by leading research, developing programs, and guiding students at home and abroad.

The college's founding directors, Martha Van Rensselaer and Flora Rose, traveled to Belgium following World War I to lead a nutrition survey that was used to guide relief efforts. In this same spirit, the college currently carries out research programs, student exchanges, and field trainings with partners around the globe--sharing ideas that prompt new discoveries, facilitating student learning, and fulfilling the college's outreach mission in the broadest sense.

Through our Global Health Program, which is featured on the cover, and other international projects, students gain firsthand experience applying their skills to solve problems in health, development, and more. At their side are the college's faculty members, who go beyond our borders to partner with scholars in fiber science, human development, nutrition, policy, design, and other areas.

Wherever that research leads, the college is taking steps to create new programs and partnerships to extend its work far beyond Cayuga's waters. I hope you enjoy discovering more about the college's global reach.
