hall, and meet representatives from some of our many student organizations. And if you’re not able to
attend the Spring Reception on April 19 as part of the Multicultural Spring Program, consider joining us at
another reception on April 5, 9, 12, or 23.

S yracuse U niversity!
Get a jumpstart on your time at Syracuse University—visit campus and meet
faculty members and current students while making new friends along the
way—all before the start of classes! The following programs will help you to
experience some of the many academic and social opportunities at SU:
Be a part of the Multicultural Spring Program
Syracuse University values diversity. We embrace
it as a de­­fining quality of who we are and what we
do. Diversity challenges stereotypes, encourages
critical thinking, and enriches the educational
experience.
The Multicultural Spring Program will
introduce you to a broad range of racial and
cultural backgrounds and to resources available at
Syracuse University. You’ll leave feeling motivated
about your college experience, inspired about
joining the Syracuse community, and familiar with
the campus and opportunities available to you.
This is a wonderfully exciting time for you.
With all the decisions and life changes you are
facing, your transition to Syracuse University will
be easier if you simply PACE yourself. Pursuing
Academic and Cultural Excellence (PACE) is a
hallmark of the Multicultural Spring Program and
Syracuse University.
The April 18-20 Multicultural Spring Program
is an extension of our April 19 Spring Reception
(see information on Spring Receptions). If you
choose to participate in the Multicultural Spring
Program, you’ll be housed overnight with your
host, a current Syracuse student. Overnight
accommodations are for students only. In addition
to experiencing the academic, residential, and
social life on campus, you’ll attend a dinner with
University deans, faculty, and students. The threeday program features the popular Cultural Show, a
showcase of artistic expression featuring several
of the student groups at SU.
