Q&A with David Cordero
Why Dartmouth?
When looking at schools I really wanted a liberal arts education—even though I once thought about being a computer engineer—because I wanted to be sure to explore the various interests that I had coming in. I loved computer science, English, history, physics, and feared that, in going to a school that required me to declare a major from my first day, I would lock myself into a field of study I would eventually get tired of studying. In the end Dartmouth not only provided a liberal arts education, but also a sense of community like that of my high school at home.
How long have you been riding and what got you interested in riding?
This is a funny question, actually. Ever since I began riding most of my friends have been asking me if I had ridden horses in the past. Honestly, no. At least not English riding. I picked up riding over the summer when I got lessons with Sally, our coach, out of interest in equitation. A friend of mine who was on the Equestrian team last year suggested that I think about joining and here I am now. Every day that I ride holds a new lesson for me.
Tell me something interesting about you that might come as a surprise to your teammates.
I used to dance when I was younger—all types of dance too. Because of this I was also fairly flexible and could contort myself into…peculiar shapes. I was able to bend myself into a bridge or do a standing split.
What activities are you involved in outside of Equestrian?
Let’s see, I’m the Photography Editor for the Dartmouth Aegis, work on campus as an undergraduate research assistant, hang out with alumni through the Hill Winds Society, volunteer on campus as a member of the green Key Society, and am a Mellon-Mays fellow, which means I actively think about long-term research goals and academia.
What are your future plans?
Well, seeing that I am done with all requirements to graduate, I want to spend the rest of my time at Dartmouth working on a personal project exploring the way the internet influences self-perception and a sense of community in youth. I hope to do this through a Senior Fellowship but that’s up in the air right now. After college I have three possible paths. The first involves working for a tech company as a communications director or in public relations, hoping to work up to becoming a Chief Marketing Officer. The second is going to graduate school to study communications, critical theory, or comparative literature, so to one day become a professor. My last option is working for a tech company’s research and development department, learning about patenting law, and working in corporate law.
