Talking about diversity

Curtis Mathews Jr., vice president for diversity at CIGNA, speaks to Cornell students Oct. 11 in Ives Hall about his company's strategy for hiring, working and promoting inclusively. The health-care, insurance and financial services corporation encourages staff to bridge differences in educational background, age, religion and national origin as well as race and gender, he said. He was joined by Mark Bertolini, a senior vice president at CIGNA, for the session, which is part of the Leadership, Management and Diversity in Corporate America speaker series at Cornell.
