2007 National Orange Day Events
ON CAMPUS
Syracuse University will celebrate its 137th birthday this year on National Orange Day, the founding day of the University—March 24, 1870.
To commemorate the occasion there was a campus celebration on Friday, March 23 in the atrium of the Schine Student Center with greetings and remarks by Vice Chancellor and Provost Eric F. Spina, Dean Barry Wells, and SA president, Ryan Kelly ’08, followed by the traditional cake cutting with Otto. Music and entertainment was provided by Z89.
SU
