News for our SU family in Asia

Dear friends,

Generosity. In the Syracuse University family, sharing and helping others is a natural part of being Orange. Many of you connect students with jobs and internships. Some mentor alumni and students. And some financially support Syracuse.

The great news is that everyone can participate in philanthropy! Several alumni have come together to establish the Syracuse University Greater China Alumni Endowed Scholarship. A generous alumnus has offered to match donations to this scholarship dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 USD. Why? To inspire you to give.

Because you are a member of the Syracuse University family, I know generosity is simply a part of your DNA. So, please, make your gift to support Chinese students now!

Esther Feng
