  • Spring 2020 Newsletter 2 Exhibitions
    Spring 2020 1 Notes from the Museum March 24, 2020, is National Orange Day, marking the 150th Notes from the anniversary of the founding of Syracuse University. This important Museum milestone asks us to consider how the University shaped and impacted all the people who have been a part of it over the years and, just as importantly, how we, as part of the University today, will impact the future. As the campus art museum of Syracuse University, SUArt Galleries has an important role in this discussion because we know that art has the power to bring people together, to open our eyes to see new perspectives, and inspire us to think beyond our own experiences and disciplines. As we contemplate the future of Syracuse University, one of my goals for the museum is to bring people together, uniting the wider community with students, faculty, staff from every school and department through class visits, exhibitions and programming. With this goal, I hope the museum will be a place of rigorous interdisciplinary research, creative thinking and mindfulness, as well as an inclusive space that serves as a forum for a broad range of discussions. This spring semester brings a number of important exhibitions, Vanja Malloy, Ph.D. which I hope you’ll read about in this newsletter. Two of the shows Director and Chief Curator opening this January, Black Subjects in Modern Media Photography: Works from the George R. Rinhart Collection and Making History, Justifying Conquest: Depictions of Native Americans in American Book Company Textbooks, ask us to consider the historic role various forms of media have played in constructing and perpetuating racism.

  • The University
    et al.: The University THE UNIVERSITY News of campus programs and events Thinking About Tomorrow History shows us that Syracusans have often attempted to anti­ cipate the University's future.

Rarely, though, has the University attempted to con­ template its future with broad institutional scope. Nearly three years ago, Chancellor Melvin A.
