The Syracuse University College of Law is mentioned in a New York Daily News article about a federal ruling against the city’s plan to remove its fire alarm call box system. The injunction against dismantlement protects the rights of deaf and hearing-impaired populations reporting emergencies from the street.

  • a feature on the South Side Innovation Center (SSIC) quoting Bob Herz, SSIC director, and Margaret Butler, SSIC facilities coordinator, with case studies on several of the center’s clients;
  • a column by Mitch Franklin, assistant professor of accounting in the Whitman School of Management, on retirement strategies and individual retirement accounts;
  • a column by Kelly Lux, community and relationship manager for the School of Information Studies (iSchool), on topics for businesses to consider before using social media; and,
  • a guest essay by Tom Kruczek, former executive director of the Falcone Center for Entrepreneurship at the Whitman School, on small businesses rising in Syracuse and Central New York.

Today’s Dick Case column in the Post-Standard notes SUArt Galleries plans for “A Magnificent Obsession” exhibiting pieces from the collection of Hamilton Armstrong, quoting Domenic Iacono, director of SUArt Galleries.

The Post-Standard briefly reviewed the new paperback edition of “Get Off Your Knees: A Story of Faith, Courage and Determination,” recently released by SU Press. The book is an autobiography of S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications alumnus and SU Press author John Robinson.
