Diversity in Cornell Economics (DICE) was founded by a group of Cornell graduate students in the fall of 2019. We strive to improve equity in economics and related fields, empower students to progress in the field, and provide a sense of belonging for all members of the economics community, particularly those from historically underrepresented groups.

There are three types of DICE members: general members, committee members, and executive board members. Executive board members and committee members are responsible for planning and implementing programming that furthers the mission of DICE.

We organize our work across several committees:
  • Graduate Students for Gender Equity in Economics (GSGEE)
  • Department Accountability
  • Undergraduate outreach and mentoring
  • Communications

Jacqueline Blair - Chair of Undergraduate Mentoring
Lexin Cai - Chair of Department Accountability
Molly Doruska - President, Chair of GSGEE
Luc Esprabens - Chair of Communications, Dyson Diversity Council representative
Anton Moore - Vice President
Anthony Ponce - Treasurer
Brenda Prallon - Economics Diversity and Inclusion Committee Grad Student Representative
