During the second week of classes, we’ve spent some time investigating how to help you further navigate the semester. Explore these top five hacks to find a routine and shape your experience!
Having trouble finding a study space?
You have options! The University went through all of the spaces and classrooms on campus and compiled a helpful list of areas you can safely access. In these areas, you’ll be able to properly social distance while studying for your next quiz, log on to a Zoom lecture before your next in-person class or just take a minute to breathe in peace.
Find all available spaces on the Division of Enrollment and the Student Experience website.
Missed the Involvement Fair?
You’re not too late! There’s never a wrong time to show your interest in a student organization. You can always find registered student organizations and their contact information by browsing ’Cuse Activities.
Still a little nervous to reach out or don’t know what to say? Try this message template:
“Hi, my name is [INSERT YOUR NAME]. I missed you at the Involvement Fair, but I’m still interested in becoming involved. Could you tell me a little more about what you do and how I can be a part of it? Thanks!”
Want to be involved but not sure where to start?
It’s easy! ‘Cuse Activities hosts 300+ Registered Student Organizations (RSOs)! Managed by the Office of Student Activities, ‘Cuse Activities is an online community that helps connect student organizations with the rest of campus. You can find clubs and organizations to join, information on who they are, when they meet and events for you to browse.
Supportive of a variety of interests and easy navigation, ‘Cuse Activities further organizes RSOs using the following key categories.
- Academic Department
- Arts and Entertainment
- Cultural/International
- Governance
- Honorary
- Media/Publications
- Political/Advocacy
- Professional
- Religious
- Service
- Special Interest
- Sports/Recreation
Visit the ‘Cuse Activities FAQ webpage to learn more about how to start connecting today!
Looking for additional events that encompass a variety of categories?
There’s a solution for that! The Syracuse University Community Calendar includes academic, social, leadership, cultural and professional events happening across campus (in-person and virtually). You can also search the calendar for specific school, college or department activities.
Bonus hack: use the “Add to Calendar” feature per event to easily add to your digital calendar and to stay organized.
Need things to do in the evenings and on weekends?
You’ve got options! Offering signature late-night experiences, Orange After Dark includes events like trivia nights, movie screenings, mini-golf, laser tag and cosmic bowling. Don’t forget, “sharing is caring,” so be sure to invite your friends!
Hoping to stay emotionally and physically well?
We’ve got just the thing! Students can use the Wellness Portal to access schedules and to make required reservations for: cardio equipment, weight machines, the indoor track, group exercise classes, weekend Adventure Day Trips, the Climbing Wall, the Esports Room, the Crowley Family MindSpa, Wellness Leadership Institute workshops and more.
