New analysis by Cornell sociologists shows that the university’s “small world” enrollment network looked smaller and less connected in the midst of the pandemic than in fall 2019, when an average Cornell student interacted with about 530 peers in classrooms each week.

The Minor in Inequality Studies’ Health Equity Track, launched in Spring 2019, affords interested students the opportunity to explore the social causes and consequences of inequalities in life expectancy, health outcomes, health-promoting behaviors, and access to health care. As with the general Minor in Inequality Studies, the Health Equity Track is open to any student in any major, and offers excellent preparation for students who are interested in careers in medicine, public health, social science research, or public policy.
