On May 9, 2016, the Cornell Cohort met up at Mod Pizza in
Pinole for an informal meet and greet. I arrived first after the chaperone,
Mike Myrga. Mike usually teaches environmental science and chemistry at De Anza
to seniors, but on the side he’s a traveling extraordinaire. Within minutes of
meeting him, I learned that he’s been to several countries and he loves strolling
around college campuses which is how he first became interested in the Cornell
chaperone position. He heard traveling to Cornell and found the position
interesting enough to apply for. After a short ten-minute interview, he later
received a call from Don, informing him of his acceptance to the position. He
then went on to contact us, per Don’s instructions, for a meet and greet.
Throughout the dinner the entire cohort chatted over our interests,
likes, dislikes, etc. and by the end I was already enamored with our cohort. We
talked about our love for food, flying experiences, worries about going to the
East Coast, and much more. Despite this being a small Ivy League Connection
event, I already love it and am that much more excited to board the plane to
Cornell.
