Melanie Goricanec is a Hotel School student with a Food Science minor at Cornell, class of 2023. From the moment she set foot on campus during her first-year retreat to now being a leader on the New Student Outreach Team for the second year in a row, Melanie has always felt at home within the Cornell Catholic Community. Melanie is extremely grateful for the friends she has made and thus she looks forward to sharing this experience with all students. Being a part of such a large faith community has allowed her to grow in her own faith by encouraging her to understand who she is as a child of God. As a member of the New Student Outreach Team and a leader for Kairos VII, Melanie encourages you to get involved in the community in any way possible, whether that be to go on a retreat, join a small group, become a little/big sib, or simply reach out and make friends that will last a lifetime and beyond!
