Free Shuttles!



Starting this afternoon, Monday, Nov. 24, the Student Association is sponsoring free bus shuttles to and from Syracuse University, the William F. Walsh Regional Transportation Center and Hancock International Airport. The service is offered to support students who are traveling for Thanksgiving break.


Buses are scheduled to depart from the Schine Student Center approximately every hour, on the hour (i.e. 1 PM, 2 PM, etc). Buses are scheduled to arrive at the Regional Transportation Center approximately 15 minutes past the hour (i.e. 115 PM, 215 PM, etc) and at Hancock International Airport approximately 30 minutes past the hour (i.e. 130 PM, 230 PM, etc). Times may vary slightly because of traffic or other unpredictable events, and neither SA nor the motor coach company is responsible for missed flights, trains or buses (i.e. go early).

Quality Coach Lines will be providing this free shuttle service from campus during the following dates and times:

Monday, Nov. 24: 4–10 p.m.
Tuesday, Nov. 25: 10 a.m.–10 p.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 26: 6 a.m.–2 p.m.


As students return from their Thanksgiving travel, Quality Coach shuttles will be in service on Sunday, Nov. 30, from 10 a.m.–midnight. Buses will pick up from the Regional Transportation Center at 15 minutes past the hour; pick up at Hancock International Airport at 30 minutes past the hour; and drop off at the Schine Student Center on the hour.

Haven has a study lounge!


As many of you may have noticed, there is a new study lounge in the Haven lobby (the door is located between the copy machine and the stairs to the dining hall).

Here's details on how to use this lounge:

- The room is usable between the hours of 8 AM and midnight.

- To use the room, you must sign out the key at the Main Desk. While you have the key, you assume responsibility for the happenings in the room (i.e. don't let crazy things go down while you have the key) and make sure that when you are finished that you bring the key back and sign back out.

- The room exists for school work and thus the nature of the work is determined on who has the key (i.e. if the person with the key is using the room to study quietly, the room is then a quiet room but if the person with the key is using it for discussion, then the room can be used thus).

- While the room can be used for multiple people and reserved ahead of time through the RD (email wmwalsh@syr.edu), the room can be used exclusively for no more than one hour without permission (this rule is here in the event that there are people waiting to use the room).

If you have any questions, please ask the RD or ARD. Thanks!

Do you really want to lose to Notre Dame?!



If you haven't heard about the Carbon Rally against Notre Dame, you need to go to the website ASAP and sign up!

All you have to do is join the SU team (and if you have a little extra initiative, sign up for some challenges).

If we win, NBC will give us $10K to make our campus more eco-friendly!

Keep warm - take the bus



With the weather getting a little chillier and snow soon on its way, make sure to capitalize on the numerous buses that traverse campus and extend to downtown and the Carousel Mall!
