Syracuse
University London consistently
ranks among the highest quality American study abroad programs in the
UK
and worldwide. As a long-established centre for
Syracuse
University
, SU London offers courses across the social sciences and humanities,
as well as professional courses in law, music industry, design and
drama.
Syracuse
University
believes the excellence of both its domestic and international
academic programs is measured in part by the institution’s ability
and willingness to extend learning beyond the campus, actively
engaging with people and ideas.
SU
London places special emphasis on guiding students toward becoming
true ‘global citizens.’ The staff and faculty encourage cultural
engagement not only through academics, but also via extensive field
study, academic conferences, comprehensive internships, service
learning placements, and volunteer work. The program strives not only
to provide students with every opportunity to augment their
understanding of other nations, cultures, and sets of historical and
artistic traditions, but also to see their home country from the
outside, through the perspective of others.
Syracuse
University
believes in Scholarship
in Action—a vigorous pursuit of knowledge matched with the
ability to make a difference in the world. Whether working with schools
to increase literacy, or working together with neighbours to launch new
business enterprises—
Syracuse
University
pushes the boundaries of traditional teaching and research and creates a
new, stronger connection to society. A key component of the Scholarship
in Action vision is encouraging students to ‘Engage the
World’—extending the university’s reach through active involvement
in the community and around the globe. This belief in Scholarship
in Action illustrates Syracuse
University’s drive, capacity, and commitment to convert what is learned in the
classroom and laboratory into practical use for the public good.
This
event is part of the Syracuse
Symposium 2007 on ‘Justice’
‘2007-2008
is Newhouse School of Public Communication’s Year
of the First Amendment’
