Otto celebrates Chinese New Year

Celebrating the news and accomplishments of the SU family in Asia

Greetings from Esther Feng!

Students are at the heart of everything we do at Syracuse University. This issue of Syracuse University celebrates our students:

  • Runyi Li ’22 the first recipient of the Greater China Alumni Supported Undergraduate Endowed Scholarship.
  • Avi Thakur ’19, a Ph.D. student in the physics department is making headlines with his research in biotechnology.
  • Syracuse’s first career fair in China, has helped alumni and students find internships and full time positions.  
  • Syracuse Architecture students help plan a Lunar New Year celebration—with a visit from Otto!

I hope you are inspired by the amazing work and accomplishments of our students. Join us in supporting today’s students by:

  • Mentoring a student or younger alumnus.
  • Hiring a student.
  • Making a gift.

Forever Orange,

Esther Feng
