Leading With Distinction:
Advancing Academic Excellence at a University Welcoming to All
Syracuse University’s academic strategic plan, “Leading With Distinction,” was unveiled in September 2023. Identifying areas of distinctive excellence and outlining major commitments and goals, the plan offers a framework for advancing academic excellence, fostering a sense of welcome and belonging for all members of our campus community and ensuring our collective success.
During the Spring 2025 semester, students, faculty and staff are invited to attend a series of town halls for open discussion about key areas of the plan.
