Cornell Annual Fund for the Graduate School

“I felt welcomed at Cornell since the very beginning, which was absolutely important for me as an international student. Additionally, I felt like it was a place that boosted my creativity and allowed me to reach out to some of the most brilliant minds in my field and in others. It has proved to be such a place!”

—Juliana González-Tobón, doctoral student in plant pathology and plant-microbe biology
