About

Syracuse University Today is the official news source and the authoritative digital platform for the University’s storytelling, connecting members of the University community through compelling content that informs, inspires and engages. We amplify the transformative work of our students, faculty and staff while advancing the University’s strategic priorities and reinforcing Syracuse’s reputation as a leading research university that develops thoughtful leaders and engaged global citizens.

 

Syracuse University Today is produced by the Division of Communications. Our office is located at 1320 Jamesville Ave., Syracuse, NY 13244.
