Cornell University Athletics

Why Marcasciano Chose Cornell: During my visit, I truly felt a sense of community on campus and especially among the members of the crew team and knew I wanted to be a part of that. Cornell also has great balance between academics and athletics, and of course the campus is beautiful!
