Graduation

Celebrating the news and accomplishments of the SU family in Asia

Greetings from the Hill!

It’s an exciting time to be part of the Syracuse University family in Asia! A new class of graduates has launched, ready to join the vast alumni network around the world. In this edition of Syracuse University Update, we celebrate the strength of our alumni network:

  • Paul Rhee JD ‘96 shares how the Syracuse University College of Law’s South Korean alumni association has supported his career.
  • Prominent alumni in our newly revived Syracuse University alumni group in Singapore had a thought provoking panel discussion on “The Future of Work: Gaining a Competitive Advantage in a World of Change.”
  • Jordan Burns joins our International Advancement team to develop the alumni groups throughout Asia.

Please join us for a variety of Syracuse University events in Asia, including a reception with Whitman School of Management in Singapore and New Student Send-off events in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Join your fellow alumni in reaching a goal of 3,000 donors by June 30! Participate in our annual Make Your Mark campaign by making a gift of any size to support the part of Syracuse you love most.

Forever Orange!
