Dear Orange Friends:
Over several days in late April, the University celebrated the achievements, contributions and legacy of Chancellor Emeritus Kenneth “Buzz” Shaw and his wife, Mary Ann.
“I” vs. “We”
Dear Orange Friends:
It took me a while to learn that a school thrives in large part because of many key folks—people who are not visible to many of those we serve, but who are well known by our faculty and staff because they do essential work well every day.
Winter Convocation
Dear Orange Friends:
This week we welcomed 250 new undergraduate and graduate students and their parents, families, and friends at Winter New Student Convocation. The Convocation takes place the Saturday morning before spring semester classes begin. It was held in Setnor Auditorium at Crouse College.
Fort Drum
Dear Orange Friends:
On Nov. 11 of last year—Veterans Day—Syracuse University was honored to host Maj. Gen. Walter E. Piatt, commander of the 10th Mountain Division, as our guest at Syracuse Football’s annual Military Appreciation Day at the Dome.
Holiday Greetings
Wishing you peace, joy and happiness this holiday season.
Sesquicentennial
Dear Orange Friends:

In late October, I had the opportunity to teach a weekend class in negotiation. I have taught this class each semester, alternating between the Whitman School of Management and the College of Law.
Hendricks Chapel
Dear Orange Friends:
Today, a new era officially begins at Hendricks Chapel with the formal installation of its seventh dean, the Reverend Brian Konkol.
