New Migrations, EAP, SEAP Program Directors

Cornell’s first Global Grand Challenge continues this year as Einaudi's Migrations Program. We also welcome three program directors.

We're excited to announce that Cornell's Migrations initiative is stepping into a new phase as the Migrations Program, part of the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies. Einaudi's newest regional and thematic program will build on the work of Migrations: A Global Grand Challenge to inform real-world policies and outcomes for populations that migrate.

Migrations researchers and students will continue the important work of studying movement across borders, racism and dispossession, and migration of all living things under the leadership of the program's new director, Kathryn Fiorella. Fiorella is an associate professor of public and ecosystem health in the College of Veterinary Medicine.

“We look forward to building the new Migrations Program at Einaudi to advance our understanding of migration and contribute to solutions for one of the most pressing challenges of our time.”

“I am excited to join Migrations and support scholarship and learning on this critical topic,” said Fiorella. 

Fiorella plans to continue expanding Migrations' campuswide footprint established since Global Cornell launched the initiative in 2019.

“Migration has a profound impact on human and wildlife health,” she said. “I'm looking forward to furthering those connections and extending our engagement with faculty in the Master of Public Health program, Department of Public and Ecosystem Health, and College of Veterinary Medicine.”
