Syracuse University to Welcome Increasingly Diverse, Academically Competitive Incoming Class

Later this week, Syracuse University will welcome to campus an increasingly diverse and academically competitive group of about 4,000 students ready to begin their academic life here, make lifelong friends and become part of an inclusive, challenging and stimulating learning community.

“This is such a special time for our new students and their families and friends,” says Chancellor Kent Syverud. “I welcome them to the Syracuse University community and wish them all the best as they begin their academic career here.
