Monday, April 26th, 2021 Dear Students: As you begin the final week of the semester, I want to share how incredibly proud I am of your hard work, your commitment and your perseverance amidst a global pandemic.

Share Dear Students, Faculty and Staff: There are very few things more uniquely Orange than attending an event at our iconic stadium. This is an experience many of us have been missing throughout the pandemic. For that reason, we are pleased to share that late last night the University and New York State came to an agreement that will allow us to reopen the stadium to a limited number of fans, starting first with our students. As a result, Syracuse University will become the first major college sports arena in New York State to “pilot” a reopening plan, when we welcome up to 900 stu...
