Matt Danzer is a nice boy you can take home to meet the parents – just make sure there’s a kosher option on the dinner menu. He loves to stay active with early morning runs and plays tennis every chance he gets, but he still makes time to stay involved in public affairs – related to Cornell and otherwise. As a Student Assembly member, he works on issues relating to underrepresented populations, such as women at Cornell and the LGBTQ community, for which he is the S.A. representative-at-large. He is also president of the ILR Global Affairs Club, reflecting his passion for politics. Matt would be happy to enter into friendly debate on any topic that gets you going.
