From traveling abroad and cultivating relationships in new territo­ ries, to establishing new partnerships in Central New York, this has really been a year of change. At the Office of Alumni Relations, we strive to keep alumni informed of SU news and new happen­ ings that are taking place both on and off campus. Along with updates provided by Syracuse University Magazine, we send a monthly electronic newsletter, Orangebytes, to keep alumni current on campus information. If you are not receiving Orangebytes, send us an e-mail at sualumni@syr. edu.
