National Orange Day

 

National Orange Day

National Orange Day began on March 24, 1994, in commemoration of SU Founders Day. Alumni from around the world are asked to show their pride by sporting the color orange on the University’s anniversary. SU students and others participate in service oriented activities. Organized by the Traditions Commission and the Office of Alumni Relations, this day has hopes of being a legacy for years to come.

Forever Orange Week is March 21-25, 2022. It’s when we educate current students on the power of the Orange network and why it’s important to stay connected to Syracuse University long after graduation day. We hope you’ll take time to reflect on your own feelings of connection with Syracuse University!

The highlight of Forever Orange Week is National Orange Day, March 24. It’s the 152nd anniversary of the day Syracuse University was founded on March 24, 1870. Alumni clubs across the country have planned service projects to pay it forward in Syracuse University’s honor.
