Cornell University Athletics

Why Markowitz Chose Cornell: I chose Cornell because of the incredible academic and athletic opportunities. In Arts and Sciences I am able to receive a liberal arts education within a large university, which appealed to me as I am interested in a wide variety of subjects. However, my decision was ultimately made once I stepped into the boathouse. I could tell just from the energy in the room that I wanted to be a part of this team.
