WHAT'S THE SCOOP?

Since his senior project at Arbor in eighth grade, Nicholas has wanted to be a journalist. That was a big reason he decided to go to the Newhouse School at Syracuse to pursue a degree in Broadcast and Digital Journalism. 

He has already written one article for the Daily Orange, the student newspaper, this year. That article focused on Devin Connell, a local soccer goalie who had had a standout season. 

After that article, Nicholas continued to attend the weekly editorial meetings for the Orange even though there were no open beats available. Undeterred, he kept showing up and continued to pitch new ideas. 

This week his persistence and passion were paid off. He was named the Track and Field reporter for the Orange for the upcoming Winter and Spring seasons! 

Yesterday, he spent much of the day researching the team and the events. That is the kind of person he is - someone who goes deep and who wants to tell stories off the beaten path.

I cannot wait to read his dispatches and to learn more about the athletes, their lives, and their sporting events. 

Keep chasing your dream, son! Go 'Cuse and Go Nicholas!
