Colin R. McNeill Memorial Scholarship

For a first-year student from Passaic Valley High School
In the fall of 2012, Colin McNeill was in the last semester of his senior year at Ramapo College, pursuing a degree in Psychology. Tragically, Colin passed away in November 2012 after injuries he sustained in a skateboarding accident. Colin had been a member of the Ramapo College men’s volleyball team since his freshman year, and was captain of the team for two seasons. An avid outdoorsman, he competed in the College’s Bass Fishing Club. Colin often performed as the Ramapo Roadrunners’ mascot, “Rocky.”He served as a member, and then president of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, and represented the College as a delegate to the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC). He received many honors for his sportsmanship and leadership including the Athletic Director’s All-Academic Honorable Mention Team and the Coach’s Award. To honor Colin’s memory his cousins, Michele and Allan Gorab, launched this endowed scholarship in his name.
