Syracuse University is an American private university. The main campus is located in Syracuse, New York, and shares space with the nearby SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The school also owns a Sheraton Hotel and golf course near the campus, as well as properties in New York City and Washington, D.C. It had a total 2003 enrollment of 18,604 students: 12,645 undergraduates, 5,176 graduates, and 783 law students. SU was chartered in 1870 as a Methodist-Episcopal institution, but opened one year later as a non-denominational school. Its motto is "Suos Cultores Scientia Coronat," which is Latin for "Knowledge crowns those who seek her." The school's official color is orange, which was adopted in 1890. The school's independent student newspaper is The Daily Orange, which was founded in 1903 and indepedent since 1971. It also has two radio stations: WAER-FM, a NPR affiliate, and WERW-AM, a student-run station, as well as its own Student Run TV station, HillTV In 1988, thirty-five SU students were killed in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The students were returning from a study-abroad program in Europe. The school later dedicated a memorial to the students in the center of the campus. Every year, during the fall semester, the university has something called "Remembrance Week," to remember the students. Every December 21, a service is held in the university's chapel by the university's chaplains at 2:03 p.m. (19:03 UTC), marking the moment in 1988 the plane was bombed. The service features a procession to the memorial. After the retirement of Chancellor Kenneth "Buzz" Shaw at the end of the 2003 school year, the university named Nancy Cantor as its 11th Chancellor and President. Cantor was also named as Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Women's Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences, and is the university's first female chancellor. Prior to coming to Syracuse, she was the chancellor of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Campuses

Main: Also called "North Campus," the main campus contains nearly all academic buildings and residence halls. Its centerpiece is "The Quad" which is surrounded by many academic buildings, especially by those of the College of Arts and Sciences. Most of the roads of the Main Campus are traffic-restricted during weekdays. A few disperse buildings lie outside of this area, especially into the urban area to the north, around Marshall Street. Approximately 5,000 students live in the sixteen residence halls on the Main Campus. It represents a large portion of the University Hill neighborhood. Map South: After World War II a large undeveloped hill, owned by the university, was used to house returning veterans in military-style campus housing. During the 1970s this housing was replaced by permanent two-level townhouses for two or three students each, or for graduate family housing. South Campus is also home to the Institute for Sensory Research, Trinity Ice Pavilion, its own Student Center, and the InnComplete Pub. Just north are the headquarters of SU Athletics. Approximately 2,500 students live on the South Campus. Map Downtown (Future): In December 2004 the university announced that it had bought or leased twelve buildings in Downtown Syracuse. Hundreds of students and faculty will be affected by the temporary move of the School of Architecture downtown for renovation purposes. The Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems is scheduled for completion in 2006. The Paul Robeson Performing Arts Company and the Community Folk Art Center will also be located downtown.

Former

Tri-Cities: Located in Endicott, New York, this former campus of Syracuse University, founded in 1946, moved across the Susquehanna River to Vestal and became independent Harpur College and eventually the State University of New York at Binghamton, or Binghamton University. Utica: Located in Utica, New York and also founded in 1946, this campus remained part of Syracuse University until 1995. Utica College still offers the Syracuse University bachelors degree and continues to have a very similar academic structure. It is officially mentioned in SU's charter and has two members in its University Senate.

Athletics

Syracuse University's sports teams are officially known as the Orange, although the former (until 2004) names of Orangemen and Orangewomen are still affectionately used. The school's mascot is Otto the Orange. The teams all participate in NCAA Division I in the Big East Conference. The men's basketball, football, and men's lacrosse teams play in the Carrier Dome. Other sports facilities are located at the nearby Manley Field House.
