SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY

Suffolk University has touched many lives as it has grown from a one-room school to a world-class academic institution. We at Suffolk take pride in being a personal, student-centered school, where faculty and administrators know students by name. We take the time to recognize each student’s promise, raise his or her expectations, and build important mentoring relationships.

Generations of remarkable students have found a purpose here. They have gone on to become successful and conscientious citizens of the world, taking leadership roles in law, business, public service, science, and the arts.  The University entered its second century in 2006, yet it always will remain true to its original mission of access and opportunity for all deserving students.

Suffolk continues to follow what University founder Gleason Archer called “the gospel of self-help and hard work.” Those who have the desire to learn and the ambition to use their education will succeed at Suffolk and beyond.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY

Syracuse University is driven by its vision, Scholarship in Action—a commitment to forging bold, imaginative, reciprocal, and sustained engagements with our many constituent communities, local as well as global. SU is a public good, an anchor institution positioned to play an integral role in today’s knowledge-based, global society by leveraging a precious commodity—intellectual capital—with partners from all sectors of the economy: public, private, and non-profit. Each partner brings its strengths to the table, where collectively we address the most pressing problems facing our community. In doing so, we invariably find that the challenges we face locally resonate globally.

Today, in a world in which knowledge is paramount, we believe that we best fulfill our role as an anchor institution in our community when:

We educate fully informed and committed citizens;

We provide access to opportunity;

We strengthen democratic institutions;

We create innovation that matters, and we share knowledge generously;

We inform and engage public opinion and debate; and

We cultivate and sustain public intellectuals.
