Say Yes to Education

Syracuse leads a precedent-setting partnership  that serves as a national model for urban education reform. By providing support to all city school students, the initiative seeks to help more children succeed academically, graduate from high school, and pursue higher education.

Connective Corridor

The Connective Corridor  is a civic engagement initiative led by Syracuse University, working with the City of Syracuse and Onondaga County. With upgrades like new bike lanes, sidewalks, streetlights, benches, curbs, and other streetscape improvements, the project combines research, scholarship, and civic entrepreneurship, in using the City of Syracuse as a “living laboratory” for urban revitalization.

From Lab to Market: The Syracuse Center of Excellence  catalyzes research, development, and demonstrations to accelerate innovations for clean energy, healthy buildings, and resilient communities.
