Keira comments, “It’s hard work, but I look forward to building up my strength!”
“As you all know, deciding which graduate school to go to was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make. Thank you so much for the input you all gave me. I am happy now with my choice. Cornell really seems to be the best place for me, with all it has to offer in terms of coursework, lectures, and seminars surrounding issues of agriculture, both domestically and internationally. Although my thesis will be based on research here in New York, I look forward to taking classes in international agriculture and going to CIIFAD (Cornell Institute for International Food and Agriculture Development) seminars. CIIFAD also has programs called SMART (Student Multidisciplinary Research Team) programs that take groups of students abroad for a couple weeks in January, and there’s always at least a few groups that focus on working with farmers, so I am hoping to do that as well.”
