On Thursday, March 19, Syracuse University Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor
delivered her yearly address to the University community. In her address, titled "Remaking
America: Universities as Anchor Institutions-the Syracuse Example," Chancellor Cantor
reflected on President Obama's call to action for universities to use their intellectual capital to
reform our schools, cleanse our natural environment, bridge the toxic schisms in our social
environment, and mobilize our talented youth in "Remaking America," and described SU's
engagement in these pressing issues in the City of Syracuse and across the world.
Chancellor Cantor also announced that she has directed $2 million in external funding SU
recently received toward 19 Chancellor's Leadership Projects. The projects exemplify the
University's vision of Scholarship in Action and bring together faculty, students and experts
from various disciplines to address critical societal issues affecting the Central New York
community and the larger world.
