Last week, the University and Central New York communities converged on campus to celebrate a defining moment in campus history: the inauguration of J. Michael Haynie as Syracuse University’s 13th chancellor and president.
Relive the excitement and energy of the festivities, which started with The Summit: Syracuse University Into the Future, a daylong event held Thursday, and concluded Friday with the historic Investiture Ceremony and school-spirit-laden Orange Fest inside the JMA Wireless Dome.
