Cornell University Athletics

Why Goldberg Chose Cornell: I chose Cornell University based upon its highly respected academics and rowing program. Cornell has one of the top Engineering schools in the country and after attending the Cornell University Research in Engineering ("CURIE') Academy last summer, I knew that engineering was what I wanted to pursue. Also, after attending the Cornell Rowing Camp, it confirmed my desire to spend the next four years as a member of the Cornell Rowing team. Lastly, being that both my sisters have attended Cornell University, I knew it was a school that I would love.
