After speaking to Mark Holton, Ph.D. ’96, for just five minutes, it was obvious that his overwhelming passion for students and outdoor adventures is something that drives him everyday.

“I’m in charge of training and staffing for Cornell indoor and outdoor climbing,” said Holton, Climbing Program Coordinator for Cornell Outdoor Education (COE). “Mainly, the part that keeps me coming back is training and having a good time with new people — enjoying the world and enjoying the learning.”
