Cornell University Athletics

Why Gossard Chose Cornell: I chose Cornell because I knew I wanted to study biological engineering and Cornell has one of the best engineering and AG schools in the country. I also wanted a strong rowing program with a very cohesive team. When I came on my official visit, I knew I had found the right fit. The rowers were like a big family and were very welcoming to me.
