A brief description of the institution’s employee community service initiatives:
Cornell is an exceptionally decentralized university, and there is no 'one-size-fits-all’ institutional answer regarding incentives for staff and faculty community service. Conversely,the boards of Ithaca’s rich non-profit community all have exceptional Cornell representation, and the University accounts for a full 40 percent of United Way of Tompkins County’s annual campaign. Community volunteerism at Cornell doesn’t have to be incentivized or officially encouraged. It has been a long-time way of life, that is often celebrated, and recognized, including via an annual Town-Gown Awards ceremony

Cornell offers employees paid-time for volunteering on major on-campus events.
