May 2021 Study Abroad Updates
Dear Partners & Colleagues,

This week, we concluded our spring semester in Florence and welcomed summer students to London. Soon, we'll also have summer students in Italy, France, and Spain. We are excited to welcome many visiting students on our summer and fall programs!

We continue to be proud of Syracuse University's response to Covid-19. Notably, our main campus continued in-person courses for the entire 2020-21 year. The effort across campus units has allowed more students to study abroad safely, and sooner than some had previously anticipated. We recognize some institutions are still not sending students abroad in 2021. We know this is not easy for students or staff, and please know we look forward to hosting your students, again, in the near future.

Thanks for your continued partnership and support. Enjoy the long weekend, and we'll see many of you next week at NAFSA!

Take care,
-Brock

Various international education staff from Syracuse University will be attending NAFSA next week. We'll have a study abroad virtual booth in the expo hall. Please say 'hi' if you see any of us in a conference session, stop by our booth, or set up quick meeting. See you there!
When students study abroad in Florence, the Villa Rossa becomes their home away from home.
