Janine Van Oort is a member of the front desk team and provides support to all teams under the CALS Student Services umbrella— registrar, advising, international, and career. A large part of her job is coordinating CALS events such as orientation, commencement, and Dean’s awards. Janine enjoys that each day in the office comes with new experiences and new challenges as each student interaction is individualized. Her career in higher education began with Cornell in October 2018, and she looks forward to many more years in the field. Janine feels connect to CALS through her background in Animal Science and the shared philosophy of serving the public good. Outside the office, Janine spends her time riding and caring for her three horses, hiking with her dogs, and looking for the best cup of coffee in town.
