Discovering what you enjoy and what your ideal future looks like is an important part of the transition to college. We want you to imagine yourself in our programs and ensure that you will be the happiest you can be here at Syracuse University!
Our students are empowered to choose their own courses, manage their own time, and make long lasting friendships.
Most importantly – as an InclusiveU student – you will take SU courses, participate in SU activities with friends, and in your final year have the option to intern in various campus departments – all in a fully inclusive setting.

Michaela MazurWhat’s your favorite thing to do on campus?
My favorite things to do on campus are going to the football game with friends
and going to the group dinner that is held by the RM’s. It helps us be more social
with each other. Also going to the club’s events I am in.
What do you want to be when you get older?
When I am out of college and older I would like to continue doing my advocacy
work and to talking with senators and lawmakers for new and better policies for
people with disabilities in all the states. I want to be a gym teacher or some role
with InclusiveU. I also may want to work at schools to make special education
better to make them inclusive NOT segregated. A really big future dream is to
open and own a sensory studio where PT’s and OT’s could work with their clients
and people that may not have PT or OT but could get and or just come to the
sensory studio for whatever the reason maybe. People with and without
disabilities would be welcomed.
Tell me a little bit about how you made new friends when you first came to InclusiveU.
The way I made new friends when I first came to InclusiveU was I was just
myself. Yes I was a little shy and nervous but I just put myself out there and be
myself.
What’s your favorite thing about InclusiveU?
My favorite thing about InclusiveU is the community and where I fell in love doing
advocacy and the InclusiveU events.
What do you like to do for fun?
For fun I like to hang out with my friend at the games and all of the different fun
events. Going to the gym. And that I am part of a couple clubs on campus Best
Buddies, Girl Gains, Special Olympic, Runway of Dreams and Planned
Parenthood Generation Action. Three of the clubs I am a part of the executive
board. I hope to join even more clubs.
