Cross-Cultural Adoptee Mentorship Program (C-CAMP) is a student-run outreach program of the David M. Einhorn Center for community engagement. We were founded in 2007 and promote cultural understanding and appreciation of internationally-adopted youth in Tompkins County. To do so, we match Cornell students with cross-culturally adopted mentees who share the same culture and heritage. The mentor-mentee pairings develop sustainable relationships that allow for a mutual exploration of their cultural identities. We also organize outreach events throughout the academic year to integrate our mission of education and cultural growth with the broader community. Our program is funded in part by the Student Assembly Finance Commission (SAFC) and the ALANA Intercultural Board.

The recently rechristened International Students Union (ISU), previously the International Students Board (ISB) is an organization of students from a diverse background committed to promoting dialogue and awareness about world events, cultures and issues. We fulfill this goal through the ISU's original events and the funding of student organizations, as well as assisting in the planning and execution of their events. The ISU believes that the university environment offers a unique opportunity for the interaction of ideas and opinions. The prestige and resources of Cornell University allow us to plan major events and to hear from influential speakers, and we are committed to fulfilling this potential. Further, the ISU encourages all student groups to approach the Board with ideas and suggestions concerning events or speakers they would like to see on campus. The International Students Union is also committed to student advocacy, focusing on issues that affect international and diverse students. These projects can be in response to long-term concerns, current global events, or changes in policies by the university's administration. The ISU does not take any political stance on issues but we support the right of student organizations to present these issues to the Cornell Community.

Over the years, the focus has expanded to encompass all intergroup relations. In the 1960's, Watermargin went co-ed, leading to a change in the motto from "All Men are Brothers" to "All People are Family."
