Last week saw the Welcome Week celebration, where nearly 6,000 new members of the Orange community were able to experience all that Syracuse has to offer.
From moving into the dorm to dancing at the Alma Mater during New Student Convocation to ice cream fun on campus and the first visit to the Barnes Center at The Arch, the University’s photographers captured so much of the magic that comes with a new school year. Enjoy some of this year’s highlights below!
