Coming Back Together (CBT) 2020, Family Weekend and Orange Central—three of our signature campus gatherings—are being reimagined this fall due to the pandemic. The full CBT celebration will be postponed until 2021 (with a smaller virtual CBT event planned for October), and Family Weekend and Orange Central will be transformed into virtual events.

“Finance for Non-Financial Managers” and “Women as Business Leaders” short courses will be offered online by the Whitman School this fall. SU alumni will receive a 10% discount using code “SYRAlum10.” Reserve your spot before the September registration deadlines!

For the fifth consecutive year, Michael Haynie, Syracuse University’s vice chancellor for strategic initiatives and innovation, and Alexander McKelvie, Whitman’s associate dean for undergraduate and master’s education and professor of entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises, have been appointed to the CNBC Disruptor 50 Advisory Council. 

Kelsey Davis, a 2020 graduate of Whitman’s master’s in entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises program, was recently featured by Forbes. Davis’ venture, CLLCTVE, was the $25,000 grand prize winner of Whitman’s 2019 Orange Tank competition and is one of 10 companies accepted into the TechStars LA 2020 class.
