A favorite of the Schwartz Center (she stars as the lead in Emergence, a collaboration between the Physics department and the Theatre department that plays this weekend), Adrienne is an average Cornellian- just one that spends most of her time being someone else.

	Jess Reno: Martian, Drum Major, and More! By Amanda Quain March 26, 2012 - 8:16am Picture it: you’re sitting in your room in Collegetown, trying to finish an assignment due at midnight. You have all the knowledge, but something is distracting you. A sound, off in the distance, a vrooming going through the streets.

	Panhel President: Romantic About Greek Life By Jessica McSweeney September 23, 2011 - 1:42pm It isn’t always easy being Greek – just ask Corinna Romantic ’12, the current President of Cornell’s Panhellenic Council.
