Cindy Shieh

Human Biology, Health and Society / Pre-med '08

Summer Event Coordinator

My name is Cindy Shieh and I am a Cornell student majoring in Human Biology, Health, and Society in the College of Human Ecology. This is my first summer working here at the Cornell Theory Center. I am one of the mentors working with younger students who attend the Virtual World camps held here at the Theory Center and in Active Worlds I attain the identity of an avatar named "Cindy". After I graduate from Cornell University, I am aspiring to become a pediatrician so I am hoping to attend medical school. Here at Cornell, besides being a full time student, I also participate in two clubs that satisfy my love of the arts: Illuminations, a Chinese Dance Troupe, and Anything Goes, Cornell's Musical Theatre Troupe.
