Cornell University Naval ROTC

Senior Sunday! MIDN 1/C Connor Eaton I was born in London, UK where I spent my first 18 years before coming to Cornell. I’m a proud dual citizen of the UK and the US and hope to spread beans on toast to the American people. Here at Cornell, I study Economics and History in Arts and Sciences and I compete on the Varsity Lightweight Rowing Team where I have been part of some really special crews, including the Light 4+ that won at the Head of the Charles in 2023. My hobbies fall mostly into the category of outdoor recreation: from distance running and cycling to fishing and backpacking. In May, I’ll commission into the Marine Corps as a 2ndLt. Thereafter, I’ll report to The Basic School (TBS) and upon graduation, hopefully receive assignment to a combat arms MOS. My favourite NROTC memory has got to be our annual dining-in fixtures, I’ll never miss an opportunity to have a laugh at the expense of my peers (or vice versa).
