Celebrating the news and accomplishments of the SU family in Asia

Greetings from Esther Feng!

Syracuse University is turning 150 years old! Not only do we celebrate a century and a half of innovation and inspiration, we look forward to our next 150 years of excellence. Forever Orange, Syracuse’s fundraising campaign will provide funds to raise Syracuse’s profile in teaching, learning and research.

A big thank you to each of you who participated in Boost the ‘Cuse: 44 hours for Syracuse University. 6,115 donors participated in giving, exceeding our goal of 5,000 donors. And we had a record number of 215 donors from Asia!

I hope you will continue to help celebrate our 150th anniversary by:

Making a gift to support Syracuse University this year. You can support your favorite school or college, or the annual fund.
Participating in one of the many alumni or university event near you — including a visit from Dean of the Whitman School of Management, Gene Anderson in February. (Details forthcoming.)
Hiring a Syracuse student or alumnus. And if you know a student or recent alumnus looking for a job in China, invite them to a career fair in Shanghai.
Please read on and be inspired by the successes of our alumni and upcoming events in your area!

Forever Orange,

Esther Feng
