Join us at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown (Persian Terrace) for our next session, Partnerships for Progress: The Role of Nonprofits and CBOs. As always, TMR is free and open to the public.

Following the great success of Thursday Morning Roundtable’s (TMR) 60th Anniversary kickoff, we extend a huge thank you to our 2024-2026 Lender Faculty Fellow, Professor Miriam Mutambudzi, and our Lender Student Fellows. Their research on redlining provided an essential foundation for our ongoing dialogue on this series.

The next session is titled, The Conditions of Home: Health, Safety, and Access. Join us as we explore how housing affects food access, environmental safety, and health equity.

We share these photos from the opening event in the series, Silenced: Killing Journalists and the Fight for the Truth.

Thank you to Journalist Sophie Neiman and all attendees for your participation. The series continues next week with the Film Screening: Who Killed Shireen?

Wonderful to have the Lender family visit with our staff and Lender Fellows!
