SU's strong presence on the West Coast continues to grow with new initiatives involving our Communities of Experts and other close collaborations with alumni and friends.
At Syracuse University, discovery and learning transcend physical and disciplinary boundaries as we continually test our ideas—locally, nationally and internationally. Our students engage the world through extensive partnerships and immersion opportunities, whether at our home at the heart of the Syracuse metropolitan area, at our anchor points in world-class U.S. cities such as New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, or through SU Abroad programs in more than 30 countries. These deep connections to the ideas, people, and professions of the world prepare our graduates for an increasingly connected—and complex— global society.

SU Florence alumni from around the world returned to Florence in October to participate in the center’s 50th Anniversary Festa, a three-day celebration with an optional fourth-day excursion to the Tuscan countryside. “My semester in Florence was by far my best in college, but on this visit I saw so many things that I never had the opportunity to see while living in Florence,” said Isabel Smith Margulies, SUF ’98, of Paris.
