About Us

Welcome to Cornell University and the Office of the Dean of Students!

To me, Cornell is the “city of eternal youth” and resonates with the ideas and activities of thousands of students and scholars. Cornell students have created an exciting and vibrant community and are the key ingredient in making Cornell a truly great university.

The Office of the Dean of Students serves all students at Cornell: undergraduate and graduate, residential and off-campus, US citizen and international visitor. My office encompasses seven student services organizations that promote university programs. These organizations help students develop a sense of belonging to a supporting educational community: 

• Cornell United Religious Work 
• Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs 
• International Students and Scholars Office 
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Resource Center 
• New Student Programs 
• Student Activities Office 
• Office of Student Support and Diversity Education

The Office of the Dean of Students also includes three of the most historic buildings at Cornell: 

• Willard Straight Hall, the campus student union 
• Anabel Taylor Hall, housing offices, meeting, and worship space for many of Cornell’s religious affiliates 
• Sage Chapel, the 130-year-old non-denominational worship space on campus.

I invite each of you to explore our web site to learn more about the array of services available to Cornell students through this office. And, don’t forget to take some time to visit us or one of our three beautiful buildings in person!

We would love to meet you!

Sincerely,

Kent L. Hubbell, '67
Robert N. and Elizabeth C. Staley Dean of Students
