Student Civic Engagement Opportunity: Ronald Taylor
Honors freshman and Coronat Scholar Ronald Taylor founded Cultural Project for Rejuvenation (CPR) in his hometown of Hempstead, New York in 2009, and now he’s bringing it to Wilson Park Community Center in Syracuse. Focussed on developing the whole person, the program uniquely develops young people from the inside out, as opposed to handing them the “leadership guidebook.” As the program begins in Syracuse, Ronald looks forward to creating a strong and encouraging environment for youth at Wilson Park. With a new semester ahead and a supportive team in both Wilson Park and the Policy Studies Department in Maxwell, Ronald is ambitiously seeking to ‘do good” in the Syracuse Community.
Want to join him? He can be reached at rtaylors@syr.edu

Stride pianist Stephanie Trick was our honored guest last week. Sponsored by the University Arts Presenter and Phi Beta Kappa. Fabulous!! Fun to learn that Honors student Dylan Hsu also dabbles in stride piano. It’s not for the faint of heart!
