John Robinson (Parent, Ariel '15), a 1990 graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, was born with half arms and shortened legs, a physical disability known as congenital limb loss. His life has never been simple; yet, in challenge after challenge, he has succeeded.
In Get Off Your Knees: A Story of Faith, Courage, and Determination (published last fall by Syracuse University Press) and a companion documentary by the same name released by
PBS, Robinson recounts his fascinating, inspirational life story. View the full story at:
