Robert Gao CC'23
Robert Gao is a graduating senior in Columbia College majoring in Economics-Political Science. He is from Dallas, Texas, though he grew up near Houston. He is interested in how political and economic institutions can advance and serve the interests of the people, which led him to write this paper on how Supreme Court dissents can demonstrate a farsighted commitment to justice. Outside of his studies, Robert likes to read, explore New York, and follow Houston sports.
