Bio: As Otto is with hats, I am with opportunities: I have seized every one of them at Syracuse. My time on the Hill has been enriched by involvement in First Year Players, TNH Advertising Agency, Renee Crown Honors Program and Orange Seeds and I am loving life as a resident advisor. Through changing me, these endeavors have hopefully changed the university community for the better.

Quote: “I may be too short to be Otto, but I still bleed Orange!”

 

Lawrence Jackson

Giving back to my community as well as helping the people around me is very important to me and I would be honored to be your Homecoming King!

Quote: “Syracuse University gives you ties and friendships that will last forever.”
