Gazdick also spoke on WSYR’s Jim Reith Show, TK99’s Gomez & Dave, and on CNY Central (watch video clip) about Say Yes to Education Day.

An op-ed in today’s Post-Standard looks at the Say Yes Syracuse program in advance of tomorrow’s first ever Say Yes to Education Day. The op-ed is co-authored by Syracuse University Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor; Mary Anne Schmitt-Carey, president of Say Yes to Education; Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney; and Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner.

Chicago’s Dominican University Crown Library is one of several libraries around the country participating in the RAILS project.
