Alumni from around the world will be welcomed back to campus for Orange Central homecoming weekend Sept. 15-18. This year, the theme for Orange Central is “Welcome Back to Your Happy Place.” Orange Central is a once-a-year celebration for the entire Syracuse University community. Homecoming and reunion all rolled into one, it brings Syracuse University students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends together to enjoy dozens of activities, from lectures and panel discussions to campus tours, performances, and social and athletic events.

For alumni, Orange Central is a way to reminisce and reconnect, to explore SU’s newest places and programs, and to get to know today’s campus community. Of particular interest may be the many classroom and campus improvement projects taking place as part of the Campus Framework. For students, it’s the perfect time to show their Orange pride and enjoy a week filled with SU traditions hosted by the Traditions Commission, with free food, T-shirts, prizes and more.

This year’s Orange Central celebration features events for alumni, current students, faculty, staff and the entire community. Free parking will be available at many locations around campus.

Working with some of the most important artists of the day, Hayter championed experimentation and the development of new printing techniques, while understanding that any form of printmaking is merely a tool for the expression of an artistic idea.
