MyCALSMoment

My CALS highlight is easily getting to work with thousands of insects at the Cornell University Insect Collection!

What has been an academic highlight for you within your major? 

As a part of a cooperative business course I am taking, I have been able to work on an engaged learning project with cooperatives to help optimize their member education programs.

How have you found your closest friends at Cornell?

I've found my closest friends by attending the numerous athletic events on campus. I made it a mission to attend a home game of every sport here at Cornell, and I've been able to form a great group of friends who share the same love of our Big Red sports!

What are your post-graduation goals?

Right now I plan on working somewhere in the agriculture industry immediately following graduation. I'm considering turf grass, pest management, and plant disease-related work. In the future I'd love to have my own wool farm!
