Celebrating the news and accomplishments of the SU family in Asia

Greetings from Esther Feng!

Esther Photo

As part of the Syracuse University family, you have a lot to be proud of! 

Not only do our students excel in the classroom, they explore the world and make a difference in their communities. 

For decades, faculty have invested in the lives of students — and that legacy continues today. 

Thank you to everyone who participated in A Hand for Wuhan,  to those affected by the coronavirus known as COVID-19. 

For the health and safety of the entire Syracuse family, we will postpone the Syracuse Around the World series with the Whitman School of Management. Visit our website often for updates. 

In the meanwhile, stay safe, healthy and connected with Syracuse!
