Syracuse University

"SU helped make me who I am today."

For alum Jason Sacks ’03, his time at SU meant more than just earning a degree. One-of-a-kind experiences both in and outside the classroom with organizations like WAER Sports radio and University 100 were vital in preparing him for a career in the world of sports. Read more about Jason.

Education for the world, in the world

Every day, gifts big and small from SU alumni and friends are responsible for success stories like Jason’s. Now a Chicago-based fundraising effort will help us provide life-changing student experiences—through specialized programming, networking opportunities, and academic instruction based in real-world environments—all in the Windy City!

Turn every dollar you give into two!

Make a gift to the newly established Chicago Orange Fund. When you do, you’ll help build support for Chicago-based programs and, thanks to a generous challenge gift from SU trustee and Evanston, Illinois, resident David Edelstein ’78, the amount you give to the fund—and its impact—will be doubled.
