Activities for the Weekend of Oct. 7-10 and Indigenous Peoples’ Day

EventsStudent Experience

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!
