Cornell University's Department of Biomedical Engineering is the 2013 recipient of the Biomedical Engineer Society's Diversity award.
Cornell’s success in recruiting and retaining women and underrepresented minority students through the inclusive programming, faculty-student engagement, cross-institutional partnerships and outreach is particularly noteworthy.
This is the fifth Diversity Award presented by BMES, and it is the first occasion an organization or group is receiving it.
