Our Students

My name is Adora Colicci and I am a member of the Cornell DVM Class of 2027. I am interested in exotic animal and wildlife medicine, as well as small animal general practice. Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time in Nature. This past summer, I was selected for Engaged Cornell’s Team Indonesia. I had an amazing experience learning about the care and husbandry of all sorts of creatures, from the Sumatran rhino to all types of snakes to macaques and slow lorises. We also worked on various environmental and community development projects. My time in Indonesia showed me how broad and complex conservation issues can be, and the importance of partnerships with local communities to solve problems. It also reinforced my desire to work with lesser-known and exotic species and improve our knowledge of these species! I am so grateful for the Engaged Cornell program and everyone who made this trip possible!
