John Rorro: Syracuse University — InclusiveU (Colin McEnerney Scholarship Award)

John is a proud three-time Rockin’ Recipient entering his senior year at Syracuse University’s InclusiveU program, where he studies sports management and will be completing an internship in the field this year. His goals include landing a full-time job after graduation, continuing to build independence, and living on his own. 

Throughout his time at Syracuse, John has embraced every opportunity college life offers. He’s been interviewed many times by Syracuse media to share his experiences as an InclusiveU student, spoke at freshman orientation each year, and even represented InclusiveU at the NDSS Gala in New York City. He’s also part of the E-board for Special Olympics Unified Basketball, where he both coaches and competes, and has served as an assistant with the Syracuse football team. 

Outside of school, John enjoys playing and watching sports, hanging out with his brothers and family, and even exploring a new hobby, cooking. He is especially proud of finishing three successful years at Syracuse, learning to live on his own, and thriving in independence. 

We can’t wait to cheer John on as he wraps up his senior year and continues building a future filled with opportunity, independence, and success!
