After 31 years at SU, Dr. Bradley Ethington made his final appearance as the Director of Bands today, a well earned retirement awaits.

Thank you for all of your time, musicianship, teaching, and being an incredible mentor and colleague to everyone at Syracuse, Dr. Ethington!

You will be greatly missed!

One hour until the processional!

Two School of Education students have been named 2026-27 Remembrance Scholars. Congratulations to Mason Burley (inclusive adolescent education) and Sydney Kincaid (music education) on this honor. As Sydney says, "Being a Remembrance Scholar is about understanding people on a deeper level. It gives a unique perspective of life at every turn."

The Remembrance scholarships, now in their 37th year, were founded as a tribute to - and means of remembering - the students studying in London and Florence through Syracuse University who were killed in the Dec. 21, 1988, bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Those students were among the 270 people who perished in the bombing.

On the last day of classes, the Wind Ensemble gathered one last time to work with Dr. Ethington and read a new piece by student composer Mihir Borah.

Finals are right around the corner!

Many thanks to the students, staff, and parents from Central Bucks for visiting us on the hill today.
