Cornell University Athletics

Why Clute Chose Cornell: Cornell's major focus on food drew me in, as I would love to learn more about nutritional/food sciences and apply that to my own baking. I am also very interested in language development and foreign languages, and have spoken with graduates of the language program who were really complimentary of Cornell.
