About the Observatory
Built in 1887, Holden Observatory is the second-oldest building on campus. Its preservation is important to the Syracuse University Physics Department. Several renovations have been completed over the last two decades to uphold the building’s legacy and to restore its focus as a center for learning.

WUC Hosts SU Thanksgiving Dinner for International Students 2017
WUC community participates annually in a number of events that are sponsored by various entities in the Syracuse area. WUC strives to be an active participant in these activities. A recent event held was the the Syracuse Univeristy International Students Thanksgiving Dinner 2016. The event was sponsored by Chancellor Kent Syverud, Dr. Ruth Chen and Hendrick’s Chapel. SU Catering staff did an outstanding job!
To the best of our knowledge Syracuse University is the only university extending this particular courtesy to first year international students. Our students have expressed much appreciation in the past, and we believe this Thanksgiving celebration has proven to be an excellent way to let them know that our lives are enriched as a result of their being an integral part of Syracuse University.
Poinsettia Sale
The Women of the University Community’s Annual Poinsettia Sale benefiting our three endowed scholarships. Plants are ordered through November and made available the week after Thanksgiving. Orders of 15 plants or more can be delivered for a small fee or you can collect smaller orders from the Inn Complete. Poinsettias come in three colors and two sizes.

Special Events – Barnes Hiscock Mansion
Why it is Important to Save this Home
It is an irreplaceable piece of Central New York history! Women of the University enjoyed an afternoon tour at the mansion.
This historic mansion was built by George and Rebecca Barnes in 1853. Their home was a center of civic-minded activity in our community. In honor of their leadership and commitment to the people of Central New York, the Foundation has been established in their names.
This house was a gathering place for such notables as Rev. Samuel Joseph May (who actually presided over the marriage of George and Rebecca); Garrett Smith; Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her husband, Henry.
George and Rebecca Barnes were dedicated abolitionists and often placed themselves in danger to help a slave flee to safety. The mansion played a key role in the abolitionist movement in Syracuse, and has been recognized as one of the stops along the Underground Railroad, Freedom Trail. George and Rebecca held many meetings in the house and oral history supports that they hid slaves during their long journey north, often having them hide in the basement and carriage house until safe passage could be found.
