About Us

Cornell Women in Public Policy (WIPP) graduate student organization was founded in 1994. Maintaining the historic mission of integrating women into public policy roles, WIPP's mission is also to facilitate the professional integration of people of all genders, races and ethnicities, abilities, sexual orientations, communities, and socioeconomic statuses into public policy roles. The organization promotes principles of equality, justice, and integrity in the public and private arenas while providing a support system and networking opportunities for its members. To this end, WIPP organizes discussions and generates public awareness about economic, social, political, and historical issues in relation to gender in the policy. WIPP fosters leadership and personal relationships through professional development, community outreach, and cultural exchange.
