Freshman

College of Human Ecology

Human Biology, Health and Society

Hi Class of 2030! My name is Natalie Kaplan, a Human Biology, Health and Society major from Westchester, NY. You’ll find me playing guitar, taking photos, or hunting for a new restaurant. I’m running for Freshman Representative because I talk to people from every corner of Cornell each day, and I want to hear even more of you. I’ll bring your feedback to administration and show you the change it creates. I’m proud to represent women, women in STEM, and the Jewish and BIPOC communities.

My priorities include: Increased Summer internship opportunities open to freshmen, live TCAT tracking so we can plan around delays, free laundry, dining halls opening an hour earlier, and longer Fine Arts Library hours, since it’s the closest library to our dorms. Most importantly, I believe Novik's Cafe should be able to be accessed by any Freshman with an ID card, not just RBG residents.

I was an RA in my boarding school dorm, where I connected students with administration, and I served on student council. I have ideas to make dorm life more fun, too.
