Hi, I'm Giovanni! I'm a junior in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences studying Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Outside of classes I'm on the Cornell Mars Rover Project Team and involved with the rock climbing and slacklining clubs. Excited to show you around campus and answer all your questions!

Describe your college experience

I have enjoyed my time greatly at Cornell so far! The communities of people I have found are incredible and so caring. There is a club for everything here and so many opportunities to pursue your interests. There are definitely difficult classes but there are so many resources to help here!

Tip for future students

Explore new opportunities and enjoy the beautiful outdoors here!

Favorite class

Introductory Oceanography (EAS 1560)- this is a great class for any major and you learn so much about how our oceans work and affect our lives. It is taught by one of our best professors, Bruce Monger, in the largest lecture hall at Cornell.

Career goals

I am considering going to graduate school and am interested in working for a government agency like NASA or NOAA or USGS. I am also considering a career in teaching.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Hanging out with friends, rock climbing, star gazing (the skies are so clear here!) , and going on random adventures.
