Red Hot Dance

Some claim that our campus is segregated.

Do you agree?

If so, how do we go about changing our campus culture?

If you don’t agree, what do you believe is contributing to this perception?


Either way, there's something going on that's not being talked about. Do you wish to get the ball rolling in talking?

Sign up for the Day of Dialogue on Saturday, February 13th from 10am to 3pm (with lunch included). You can register at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DialogueDayRegistration2010

The program is designed to break down barriers between students in order to foster a more collaborative, community-oriented culture on campus. Perceived differences can interfere with open communication and that can get in the way of positive change. Join a group of students who are seeking out ways to make this a more inclusive campus for everyone. Be a part of bringing about positive change.

You will receive the details including a schedule for the day and locations of the sessions with your confirmation letter once you have registered. If you have any questions regarding the day or registration process please contact Pam Peter at papeter@syr.edu.

MLK Dinner - SOLD OUT

If you signed up with your RA for this Sunday's MLK Dinner Celebration, please read this.

Due to an overwhelming response, the event sold out and unless you receive an email from me denoting that you made the cut, you did not get a ticket for the dinner and were not charged a meal swipe.

Fortunately, the program following the meal is being opened up as FREE. So, do still go and you can find yourself a seat in the stands.


Please feel free to ask Bill the RD or your RA any questions you may have.

MLK Dinner on 1/24 - Tickets are LIMITED

Did you know Syracuse University holds the largest MLK celebration of any US college?

And YOU can be a part of it during a big year! The 25th Annual Martin Luther King Jr Celebration in the Dome will start at 5 PM on Sunday 1/24, with a great dinner, speaker Gwen Ifill and an illustrious program.

If you are a student with a meal plan, you can get a ticket for just one meal swipe BUT you need to find your RA ASAP as they have the sign up list only until Tuesday, 1/18/2010. But if in the sad chance you miss the RA sign-ups, then go to Hendricks Chapel to see if they have any available.
