He swiftly organized Narcan Training for all fraternity members, significantly enhancing the emergency preparedness of the community and contributing to a safer campus environment.

When faced with challenges relating to sexual misconduct within the fraternity system, Rocco took decisive action by leading the development of a Sexual Violence Prevention plan. This included a temporary suspension of fraternity social activities and spearheaded a series of interventions aimed at creating a safer, more respectful community ethos.

In addition to his fraternity involvement, Rocco excelled in his role as Vice President of Finance for the Cornell Student Assembly, where he managed the complexities of student activity fees. He introduced the innovative "Student Activity Fee Price Index," which provided a data-driven approach to fee adjustments, ensuring fair and sustainable financial practices that aligned with the economic realities faced by students.

Rocco also participated in the Food Marketing Fellows honors program, which allowed him to deepen his engagement with the global food industry through interactions with key industry leaders. His internships at renowned companies like Giovanni Foods, Mondelēz International, and Restaurant Brands International afforded him practical experiences where he applied his academic learning to real-world challenges, enhancing his expertise in quality control, ingredient technology, and operational management.

Rocco's achievements were recognized through multiple awards during his time at Cornell, highlighting his leadership, academic excellence, and community service. Before his collegiate success, he was a proactive leader at Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, New York, where his involvement in sports and student governance laid the groundwork for his future accomplishments.

The Kinard family knew Hamilton could benefit from a service dog, but the process of receiving one was a grueling and expensive 18-month ordeal. The stress of the experience – coupled with the tremendous benefits Hamilton’s service dog, Gunner, provided – drove the Kinards to establish SD Gunner Fund to help others. Since SD Gunner Fund’s founding, the organization has served over 450 veterans, first responders, and exceptional children and provided more than 50,000 hours of service dog training.

Bringing people together is something that lives on through my workshops and training. Whether they take place online or on-premise, I facilitate workshops and learning experiences that focus on high participation, on learning by doing and verifying that the concepts are integrated. I use Live Online Learning Activities to ensure people get a chance to practice their understanding of the new concepts.

What better way is there to give meaning to what we say than to draw to make our thoughts explicit? When we add visual information to what we’re saying, suddenly our intention becomes much more precise, and we can begin to work on shared understanding. This is why I love bringing people in contact with the power of Visual Thinking, of getting back to our roots and using pen and paper to bring people closer together.

Stories are another option for bringing sensitive topics to the surface, which I recently started to explore through my self-development practice, as well as during numerous Around the world in (less than) 80 days workshops throughout the past years!
