NYPIRG SU and ESF

We celebrated Earth Week with our final event of the semester, a trash cleanup in Thornden Park this past rainy Saturday. Thanks to everyone who came out despite the weather and helped to leave a corner of the Earth a cleaner place than when we found it 🌎🚮

Happy Earth Day everyone 🌍

Today seemed like a good time to let you all know that we’re hosting a trash cleanup in Thornden park this Saturday from 12-2pm. Join us to help make our Syracuse community a healthier environment! Trash bags and gloves provided.

NYPIRG is offering a refund of the portion of the Spring 2026 student activity fee earmarked for NYPIRG to any student who does not wish to contribute.

For more information or to request a refund, please email your full name, mailing address, and a screenshot of your Spring 2026 schedule of classes to [email protected]

ATTENTION STUDENTS!!! Take some time to vote for SU and ESF’s candidates for NYPIRG’s statewide board of directors!

These candidates are wonderful human beings that have been working tirelessly with the SU and ESF chapter of NYPIRG. By voting for them, you are electing them to sit on the board of our nonprofit and represent SU and ESF students in statewide conversations about where NYPIRG should go in the coming year.

Link to vote in bio! You have until 9pm on Friday to cast your vote. Our candidates will be giving short speeches at tomorrow’s chapter meeting at 5pm in Carnegie 120 so be sure to come by and hear from them about why they’re running!

Join us tomorrow to talk Syracuse transit with local advocate Alex Lawson!

Learn about the upcoming Centro redesign, share your opinions on the local transit situation, and learn what you can do next. We’ll be in Moon 110 from at 11 tomorrow for the Better Bus Info Session. See you there! 🚍

STOP THE ENERGY HOGS 🐷

This past week we got to be a part of the pig bus tour press conference where local climate and affordability allies came out to advocate against the AI and Crypto energy hogs that drive utility prices up for everyday civilians. Proposed data centers will draw off of our Great Lakes and our Finger Lakes and cause all kinds of pollution which is why we need to see a moratorium now! 🐖🚌

Join us for our Debt Management Workshop with NYPIRG’s Consumer Protection Intern Bryce Hazen!

We will be talking credit cards, student loans and covering important tips for handling finances as you transition into financial independence.

We will be meeting on Wednesday at 6:30pm in Carnegie 120. See you there! 🏦🪪

We are so proud to announce that we won the “Community Service Organization of the Year” award at SUNY ESF’s SOLAR Awards tonight! We are honored to accept this acknowledgment of our impact here in Syracuse. We will do everything we can to continue the work that we do here, to continue engaging and educating the student body, and to continue to fight for you all whether we’re organizing around making a healthier Earth or fighting for higher education affordability for many years to come.

Thank you MOSA and thank you to everyone in this organization who made this recognition possible!

Join NYPIRG this Tuesday for a full day of voter registration in preparation for the June primaries🗳️
