Weill Cornell faculty, staff, and students have access to two directories with contact information about you and your colleagues.
WCM Web Directory
The Web Directory (directory.weill.cornell.edu) is our main repository that allows you to search for the contact information of colleagues within the Weill Cornell community.
When searching for someone at WCM, more comprehensive data is available, such as a user's work location and phone number, in addition to name, department, and email. You can also edit some of your own contact information and make certain fields invisible to anyone outside of the organization. Information from the Web Directory feeds into other applications as well, such as Microsoft Office 365 and VIVO.
Tripartite Directory Mobile App
The Tripartite Directory is an internal mobile application designed to help users find contact information for colleagues across Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Columbia University Irving Medical Center. It is available for download via the WCM App Store on mobile devices that have been registered with ITS.
Your data in the Tripartite Directory app comes directly from your WCM Directory profile, so changes you wish to make in the Tripartite app must be done through the WCM Directory.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is listed in the WCM Directory?
The directory contains information about the following types of active people:
- employees at WCMC and WCMC-Qatar
- faculty and non-faculty academics at WCMC and the WCMC Graduate School
- students (although published information may be limited due to FERPA)
- affiliates, such as NYP, HSS, or volunteers
Can I remove my contact information from the WCMC Directory?
In accordance with our Directory Policy, all WCMC employees must publish current contact information in the directory. This includes:
Phone numbers
All WCMC employees must have one phone number listed published to WCMC/NYP (preferably the employee’s direct number, otherwise a department number). All exempt employees and faculty must have one phone number published publicly, meaning it is searchable on the Internet (preferably the employee’s direct number, other a department number). This number need not be published publicly for non-FLSA exempt employees.
Email addresses
All WCMC employees must have an email address published publicly. Only email addresses at the following domains are permitted to be published publicly or to the institution:
- @med.cornell.edu
- @cornell.edu
- @nyp.org
- @mskcc.org
- @rockefeller.edu
- @hss.edu
Personal email addresses or other professional email addresses not ending in one of the above domains can be set to "Emergency" in order to receive important alerts from the college.
Locations
All WCMC employees must have a location published publicly. Valid locations are available from the directory drop-down menu.
Who can see my information in the WCMC Directory?
Some information in the directory is required to be public, meaning all users, even those outside of WCMC, can see it (see more information on this). You will notice "Publish to" dropdown menus next to certain fields requesting your contact information. These dropdown boxes control settings of who is able to see your information. These definitions apply to the options for publishing various data:
- Public: Viewable by all users (e.g., accessible to the Internet)
- WCMC: Viewable by users logged in to the directory or users accessing from within the WCMC network
- Department: Viewable by members of your primary department
- Emergency: Not viewable, but accessible to emergency contact systems
