Syracuse University Today is produced by the Division of Communications. Our office is located at 1320 Jamesville Ave., Syracuse, NY 13244. To contact a member of the media relations staff, email media@syr.edu. If you need to contact someone concerning internal communications or SU Today, send an email to SUToday@syr.edu.

Syracuse University Today is updated daily with stories about the people, events and scholarship occurring on campus, in the City of Syracuse, at our regional locations throughout the country and across the globe. Syracuse University Today also contains listings of University events, campus announcements, faculty and student news, and highlights from local, national and international press coverage. Visit our submission page to suggest a story idea or submit a campus announcement or calendar listing.

Twice a week during the academic year (and once a week during the summer and winter breaks), staff curate and compile a summary of news from across campus in the form of eNewsletter. To receive the SU Today email in your inbox, provide your email in the subscription box. For further details, visit the SU Today publishing schedule.

  • news writing, editing and distribution services;
