Our Mission
History of mixed race community groups on Cornell campus can be traced back to 2001 with the discussion group called BLEND (Bi-/Multiracial Lineages, Ethnicities, and Nationalities Discussion) which won the 2002 Perkins Prize for Interracial Understanding and Harmony. On and off in the years since then, the Asian and Asian-American Center (A3C) at Cornell has sponsored a discussion group on issues relating to multiracial issues, which has passed through the leadership of many dedicated students until it eventually grew into a registered student organization in spring of 2014. Today, MiXed at Cornell is led by a small group of undergraduates with a mission of fostering a safe space for students who identify as mixed to share their experiences and create a community.
