The Ag Quad is one of my favorite places on campus! I love spending the warmer days sitting and doing homework, going to Trillium for lunch, and going to Mann Library to study.

What has been an academic highlight for you outside of your major?

An academic highlight for me outside of my major has been taking courses including Environmental Psychology and the American Musical. These classes have allowed me to be able to learn more about my interests outside of Environmental Engineering. They have provided me the opportunity to improve my communication and writing skills, which are also beneficial skills for my major. 

How have you found your closest friends at Cornell?

I made some of my closest friends during Orientation Week and in my first-year dorm. These are both really easy places/times to meet other people in your year who may have similar interests as you! Also, getting involved on campus and joining clubs is another way I have made some of my closest friends! 

What is one of your favorite spots on campus?

My favorite place on campus is the Arboretum. I love taking walks around there! It's so beautiful and I find something new every time I go.
