Name: Jasen Bell
Hometown: Freeport, NY
Major: Applied Economics and Management
Year: 2009
Email:jmb333@cornell.edu
Future Plans: First off, graduate! Then probably business school, or come back to Statler to get my masters in hospitality management. Looking forward to studying abroad next semester in Singapore. Then I want to go into either private banking or consulting for a little while. I hope to eventually open up my own hotel and restaurant (separately), and become an international phenomenon, of course!
Interesting Facts:I love to cook, and travel; I am so far almost half way done with my goal of visiting every continent. Though I now live in Freeport, I am originally from Brooklyn, NY and will tell you I’m from there if you ask. As a true New Yorker I love the Mets, Jets, and Knicks.
Miscellaneous: I am a member of the first Latin dance group on campus Sabor Latino.

Email: mcc49@cornell.edu
Future Plans : Graduating is the most certain action I have planned for my future. After that my

my last two years at Cornell I will figure out exactly what I want to do after college.
Interesting Facts: I am a twin! I have a twin brother, PJ, who attends New York University. PJ, myself and
my older brother, Nick, all swim/swam for our respective collegiate swim teams. A family
that swims together, stays together.

Cornell Daily Sun and I am a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

Email: cck29@cornell.edu
Future Plans: I'm still trying to figure out next week. As for any plans after that... Be rich, and famous and happy, but mostly happy.
Interesting Facts: I've played the piano for 14 years and you will rarely see me without some form of music(listening, humming, writing, hopefully not singing but that happens occasionally much to the dismay of anyone who is in range to hear). I was born in Kentucky and my family moved to San Diego when I was seven.
Miscellaneous: I'm the only engineering student currently on the Tatkon staff. I am involved with the Society of Women Engineers on campus and at home/in my free time (free time... what's that?)

I am also a member of the Alpha Phi sorority. |

Interesting Facts: The “W” in my name stands for Winner.
Miscellaneous:The best advice I can give to first-year students is to live it up! Don’t stay cooped up in your residence hall, because before you know it, college passes you by, and that’s the scary part.

Email: jmv47@cornell.edu
Future Plans:Ever since I was little I knew I wanted to be a doctor. Now that Im older I need to figure out what kind of doctor. Although lately Ive been thinking about becoming a neurologist, but before that I wanted to be a pediatrician, and who knows what Ill want to be next semester!
Interesting Facts: I play the flute, piccolo, alto saxophone, and piano. I love acquiring useless information about the brain (although I guess if I do become a neurologist then that may help).
Miscellaneous:I am a very outgoing and personable person. Except during Greys Anatomy. I am addicted to that show and if you talk during it not only will you get a shhh but you will also get a pillow thrown at you.
