WUC 90th Anniversary Celebration and Scholarship Luncheon
A big thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and worked to make today’s 90th Anniversary Celebration and Scholarship Lunch “THE” most spectacular event you can imagine. Many went home happy with goodies from the raffle, guests donated generously to the Hendricks Chapel food pantry, and we all met the 2018 very-deserving scholarship recipients.
Furthermore, many thanks go to the Genesee Grande for the scrumptious food and courteous, helpful staff.
It was so good to see some old friends and meet new ones. I gave lots of hugs but if I missed you, there is always next time. If you weren’t able to attend, you were greatly missed…and I really mean that.
The WUC is a great organization, filled with potential friends for life. I promise there will be more fun activities and opportunities in the future so check out our website, follow our Facebook page, and watch for my emails. – Esther, WUC President
Syracuse University Observatory Tour October 2017
Women of the University Community visited the Holden Observatory built in 1887 – Syracuse University.
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.
