The latest installment of our research-focused series Innovation Orange highlights the Fit Families program and shows how parents and children are learning together while having fun.

Innovation Orange aims to highlight the insights and ideas pursued by exceptional faculty, to increase campuswide awareness of faculty research and creative work and draw attention to student involvement in shaping it.

Videos will also highlight faculty collaboration and demonstrate connections between scholarship work and current themes in the nation and world. Importantly, each installment will elaborate on the intricate relationship between faculty scholarship and creating a superior student experience.

If you have a research project you would like featured in Innovation Orange, please contact Keith Kobland in the Office of News Services at kkobland@syr.edu.
