Dear Students and Families:
This weekend marks another busy and exciting time on campus as we welcome parents and families for Family Weekend 2021. If you will be on campus, I hope you will partake in the many events scheduled throughout Family Weekend. For those who can’t attend in person, this is a good reminder to check in with your family and friends─schedule a call, participate in one of our virtual Family Weekend programs or plan a virtual game night or watch party together.
Before we look ahead to the many events and activities this weekend, today is our day to Boost the ’Cuse. You can stop by Schine Student Center and the Quad for swag giveaways, food and fun, and to learn more about Syracuse University’s annual day of giving. Hendricks Chapel is leading an exciting student organization challenge that could mean $5,000 for student organizations that rally the most supporters, too!
Weekend Activities Oct. 7-10 and Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Oct. 11
Below is a sampling of activities scheduled, spanning recreation, wellness, movies, discussions and much more. Please visit the University Events Calendar for a complete list of events.
Following this weekend’s activities, I also encourage you to engage and explore the activities scheduled for Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Monday, Oct. 11, including the poster and dialogue opportunity hosted by the Native Student Program and Indigenous Students at Syracuse.

Friday, Oct. 8

Stay safe and well this weekend. And don’t forget to make your appointment for a flu shot this month!
Best,
Robert D. Hradsky, Ed.D.
