Celebrating the Next Chapter in Syracuse University’s Proud History

On Friday, April 11, 2014, Kent Syverud was inaugurated as Syracuse University’s 12th Chancellor and President. This important moment in the University’s 144-year history included a series of campus ceremonies, events, and celebrations to bring the University community together and mark Chancellor Syverud’s formal installation. The day’s events began at 7 a.m., with students, faculty, and staff joining the Chancellor on an inaugural run across campus and concluded with a campus community celebration on the Shaw Quad. The inauguration also included reflections by U.S. Supreme Court Justice (retired) Sandra Day O’Connor, for whom Chancellor Syverud served as law clerk in 1984. See photos, videos and more of Chancellor Kent Syverud’s inauguration .

In a small ceremony this week, I said thank you to Syracuse University’s Student Experience and Barnes Center staff for their tremendous work since the beginning of the global pandemic. I presented the @syracuseu flag that flew over the University during this time — it will have a permanent place in the Barnes Center as a reminder of all that they did to keep our students safe, healthy and engaged.

At every turn, our community has demonstrated what it means to be Orange by navigating these extraordinary times with grit, grace and determination. Now, I ask that each of you take the next step by being vaccinated. It protects you. It protects those you love. And it protects the community we all call home. After a long year, this should give all of us hope for a return to a normal campus experience. Read more at the link in my bio.

Floyd Little embodied inclusion. Radical inclusion

Floyd Little embodied inclusion. Radical inclusion. No matter where he was, if there was a person on the margins, alone and left out – whether a little kid or an old lady or anything in between, Floyd would find them and talk with them, and listen to them, and then draw them in with others until suddenly that person was part of the team. Floyd Little believed in us, and so we could believe in ourselves.

Like many Americans, I have been watching in horror the events unfolding in Washington, D.C. I am disgusted by the violence taking place at the U.S. Capitol, and by the words of President Trump and others who incited them. Acts of destruction do not move our nation forward. Respect for our constitution. Respect for the peaceful transfer of power. Respect for one another. These are at the core of our democracy and who we are as Americans. I pray for a peaceful resolution and for the safety of the people of Washington, D.C.
