graphic with Otto the Orange and words Orange Central 2021The Syracuse University Alumni Association is excited to safely welcome alumni and their families back home to Syracuse University for Orange Central 2021, Oct. 28-31.

Orange Central is always a special time as our Orange family comes together to reconnect with classmates and celebrate what makes us proud to be Orange. We hope you’ll join us for an action-packed weekend of family-friendly activities that includes:

  • Special gatherings for alumni celebrating 5th, 10th, 25th, 35th, 50th and 60th milestone reunions (including those classes who missed their in-person milestone reunion gatherings in 2020).
  • Interactive and informative programs Friday afternoon that take you inside the current student experience at Syracuse University.
  • Orange Central’s premier event, the Syracuse University Alumni Awards Celebration, which on Friday evening will honor 10 distinguished alumni. The list of decorated honorees includes Jim Morris 77, G78, the president of Pixar Animation Studios, and astronaut Eileen Collins ’78, H’01, the first female commander of a space shuttle.
  • Friday evening’s always fun ’Cuse Cookout on the Quad and a spirited tailgate before Saturday’s football game between Syracuse and Boston College.
