Greetings from the Hill!

Knowledge crowns those who seek her. Many of you remember fondly the professors who imparted knowledge and wisdom, who mentored you and welcomed you with open arms to a new country. Thanks to them, you received opportunities you never could have dreamed of.

In this edition of Syracuse University Update, we celebrate our amazing faculty. While Syracuse has hundreds of memorable professors, we’ve highlighted:

You’ll also see in this Update that alumni groups in Asia have been busy connecting with Syracuse interns and developing the Orange Network.  Additionally we launched our new website at SyracuseinAsia.edu, an online home for Syracuse alumni, parents and friends living in Asia.

Forever Orange,

Esther Feng

P.S.  If you have a favorite SU professor, a meaningful way to express your gratitude is to make a gift in his or her honor.
