Cornell University Athletics

Why Ginsburg Chose Cornell: I chose Cornell because of the strong academics and the incredible camaraderie on the rowing team. After my official visit, I felt that Cornell would be a place where I would be able to succeed as both a student and an athlete. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has a Communications major with an emphasis on media, a great fit for my academic interests. In addition, meeting the team made me want to be part of such a driven and focused group of people. I knew that Cornell would be a wonderful place for me both academically and athletically.
