Have questions but you don't know who to ask? Reach out to a Student Ambassador! There is a wonderful group of students from various academic and cultural backgrounds who are ready to help YOU! They can help get you connected to resources on campus for academic help, health and wellness, and even for social/cultural groups on campus!

Student Ambassadors are volunteer student peers who serve as a “brain trust” for other students seeking information and resources regarding how to become successful, virtual learners in the time of COVID-19.

Ambassadors provide information, share their experiences on what has and what has not worked in terms of effective strategies, and direct the student to the resources available on campus. Please visit this link for Undergraduate Student Ambassadors  to view the list of Ambassador volunteers and reach out to them directly via the contact information provided. 

Check out this article from Nature Sacred that shares research from the National Nature Sacred Awards program about nature’s impact on health workers who are coping with stress and burnout. This study, which was recently covered by BBC World News, investigates the role of hospital gardens and their positive effects on nurses’ emotional exhaustion.

Dear Seniors,

Since 1964, the Department of Art & Music Histories at Syracuse University has offered a unique master's program devoted to the study of Italian Renaissance art based in Florence. This is the oldest M.A. art history program accredited in the United States where most of the study—two of three semesters—is conducted in Italy.

Although the Florence M.A. Program’s focus is early modern Italian art, students are encouraged to think broadly about the period and the discipline of art history. Via seminars that are led by internationally recognized scholars and conservators, students carefully analyze artistic styles and techniques, consider issues related to original audiences and settings, and closely study archival documents and early modern texts. In addition, they engage with the history and practice of art conservation, art historical theories, methods, and historiography, the collection and display of art, and the ways in which the visual culture of the period relates to larger Mediterranean and global historical and artistic contexts.
The small size of the Program (approximately six participants per year) ensures that professors work closely with each student to create a rigorous and dynamic intellectual experience.

We are pleased to offer various levels of financial support that consist of:

• Florence Fellowships (full tuition and a generous stipend) 

• Kress-Florence Legacy Fellowships (partial tuition and a substantial stipend) 

• Partial tuition scholarships
