“I have several diverse academic passions. So naturally, upon hearing Ezra Cornell’s intent that “any person can find instruction in any study,” I was rapt. Captivated by the plethora of classes, programs, majors, and minors, I knew there was nowhere else I’d rather pursue music, literature, and language studies. I was immediately drawn to Cornell’s interdisciplinary opportunities and never looked back!”

Meet Shiv Goel! Shiv is a junior from Watchung, NJ, studying Information Science with a focus on Data Science and Information Ethics. Outside the classroom, he’s deeply engaged in Cornell’s music scene, where he plays the French horn and contributes to various ensembles on campus.

“Music at Cornell is not about perfection or accolades. We are not a performance school, which is a beautiful thing. It means that every single musician at Cornell does it out of love for music, and it means that we have a diverse group of individuals from all walks of life. Getting to take a step away from academics to share this love for music with the hundreds involved across disciplines is truly magical.”

Be sure to attend the Cornell Chorus, Glee Club, and Symphony Orchestra Major Works Concert on Saturday, April 26, at 7:30 PM In Bailey Hall. Free advance tickets can be reserved at cornelltickets.com!
