Danielle Lauren Cormier

Hey y'all, I'm Danielle and I am a freshman at Oregon State University. I was born in New Hampshire, moved to North Carolina at the age of 8, and decided to take a four-year field trip to Oregon at 18. My memorized, and quite often recited answer to the big question, "Why are you in Oregon?!" is: Since the age of three I have been a competitive baton twirler and Oregon State University offered me a scholarship to come here and twirl and I realized it was an opportunity of a lifetime. So, I decided to take a risk and I haven't looked back yet. My ultimate goal in life is to study environmental law to fight against big companies who destroy our environments and ecosystems, so for now I am studying biology with an ecology option in hopes to one day be as successful as Joe Rice. I am a sister of the Alpha Rho chapter of AOII sorority and also a government affairs team member due to my love/hate relationship with politics.
