Cornell University Athletics

Why Motzer Chose Cornell: I chose Cornell because I felt very comfortable on the campus. It is the perfect mix of sports and academics all situated within the beautiful town of Ithaca. Additionally, it has a major I was very interested in (IARD) that I did not find at any other school.
