Cornell University Athletics

Why Franck Chose Cornell: I chose Cornell University because of its academic and athletic opportunities. When I arrived on campus for the first time, I immediately felt strong sense of community and enthusiasm. I knew that I wanted to be a part of it, learning from and contributing to such an amazing place!
