Aaron has a decade of experience supporting a range of college residential learning communities. Prior to Cornell Big Red, his academic and professional journey has been filled with many other colors (i.e., NYU Violets, Stanford Cardinal, & Harvard Crimson) and animals, including a full Wizard of Oz journey (i.e., Mount Holyoke Lyons, Princeton Tigers, & Central Arkansas Bears) – oh my! He holds an Ed.M. in Human Development and Psychology, an M.A. in Higher Education Administration, and a B.S. in Psychology. Outside of the office, you might catch him cheering on Big Red, playing basketball or working on his fitness in Noyes, attending a lecture, running throughout the finger lakes area, at a thrift shop (always on the lookout for a thrift shop find!), or with his wife and two young daughters in Keeton House or in the greater Cornell and Ithaca community. Aaron looks forward to meeting and hearing more about your story, so stop by the office to chat or feel free to join the family in Keeton dining. |
