75 YEARS OF EDUCATING THE WHOLE PERSON President L 75 YEARS OF EDUCATING THE WHOLE PERSON President Linda LeMura and the entire @lemoyne_college family are proudly celebrating 75 years of educating and developing generations of leaders. 🎉🎊 Recognized as one of the nation’s best liberal arts higher education institutions, Le Moyne College is known for cultivating an environment where service, excellence and community are stitched into the fabric of the campus. The leadership team has been committed to ensuring students enrolled succeed and excel while also reaching back to prepare future scholars. Mayor Walsh saw firsthand how the legacy is continuing through the ERIE21 summer camps today. Many students within @syracuseschools from elementary to high school are learning about robotics, coding, programming, tech and innovation, and much more. Congratulations to Le Moyne College on this special milestone anniversary year. To all of the 🐬s, from the alumni and current students to the staff and faculty, thank you for being great community partners over the years.
Thank you to the new class of Broadcast and Journa Thank you to the new class of Broadcast and Journalism graduate students from @newhousesu for a great simulated press conference with Mayor Walsh. The foundation for good journalism is often laid with the help of great teachers. The group asked a lot of important and relevant questions which shows that they are off to a great start as future reporters. Members of the media play such a critical role in how the public receives information related to health, government, resources, sports, quality of life issues and more. Essential to capturing history, the professionals who bring the news directly to the people via a newspaper or magazine, on scene, from a studio set, over the radio waves, and through many other mediums have helped to change the world. It is always an honor to be able to add to the experiences of the #NextGeneration of journalists so they too can tell the stories which impact our everyday lives.

#LiveHereSYR with the @downtownsyracuse Arts & Cra #LiveHereSYR with the @downtownsyracuse Arts & Crafts Festival presentednby @americucreditunion. Mayor Walsh and Communications and Marketing Director Ruthnie Angrand joined @rachelmayny and @centerstateceo in presenting the Downtown Committee of Syracuse a proclamation for the 50 year anniversary of the Arts and Crafts Festival this weekend. The Syracuse Arts & Crafts Festival began in 1971 and is a three-day arts and crafts show spanning from the courthouse up through Montgomery street. It brings together visual artists, craftspeople, musicians, food vendors and performers to the city’s core and drives economic activity, safe public gathering, supports artists, and enrich the city’s cultural fabric. The festival began Friday. Today through the early evening is the last day to visit and browse (or buy) artisan foods, hard to find handmade works, or art pieces from local and renowned artists. Because of shows like this, artists are able to vend and the art of special craftmaking remains alive and well in Downtown Syracuse. Thank you to the vendors, sponsors, and coordinators at Downtown Committee for continuing to work toward a vibrant and artistic city.
GUN BUYBACK A SUCCESS Today Mayor Walsh and Syracu GUN BUYBACK A SUCCESS Today Mayor Walsh and Syracuse Police Department Chief Kenton Buckner joined the New York State Attorney General’s office for a gun buyback at Saint Lucy’s church. Participants opted for iPads and gift cards in exchange for their guns and assault rifles. Guns collected: 342. The Attorney General’s Office called it their most successful buyback. In an effort to reduce incidents of gun violence, we have to use every tool in our capacity. Thank you, Syracuse.
The SHA Basketball Tournament is On! 🏀 Our city The SHA Basketball Tournament is On! 🏀 Our city and community are out in full force today enjoying the sun, celebrating each other, and supporting each other. Officer Brandon Hanks teamed up with the Syracuse Housing Authority, several of the new recruits in the Syracuse Police Department, the Syracuse Fire Department, and numerous community programs to give our young people something to play toward and work toward. Today’s basketball tournament was about healthy sportsmanship, trusting the community to be there for our youth and showing that there are better options than violence. Today’s tournament comes with a cash prize for youth players and an experience that’s needed: a safe and fun summer memory. The 5 on 5 tournament brought together everyone from 100 Black Men, volunteer referees, Zeta Phi Beta, Who Want Smoke, the Marines, and so many more to volunteer and cheer on today’s players alongside friends and families. Mayor Walsh and Chief Buckner set off the games by throwing up the Tip Off and now the tournament is on! #DoGoodSYR #SaferSummer

Councilor Paniagua was joined by her Common Council colleagues Councilor Pat Hogan, Councilor LaToya Allen and Council President Pro-Temp Khalid Bey. Thank you to Syracuse Police Department Community Sevice Officer Hector C. who raised the flag as the national anthem played.

OVERFLOWING SUPPORT Mary Nelson stood beside her c OVERFLOWING SUPPORT Mary Nelson stood beside her children, grandchildren, and longtime champions to announce that the Center was chosen as one of Lowe's Home Improvement 100 Hometowns to receive $75,000 for an impact project. 🎊🎉 Since 2009, the Mary Nelson Youth Community Center has been serving families from its location at 2849 S. Salina Street. After years of community support and sacrifice to keep the doors open, Nelson, the Center’s namesake, looked out into the crowd behind her full of gratitude. The organization was selected out of 2,200 applications nationwide. The grant funds will be used for interior renovations at the current facility in anticipation of its future expansion. A huge thank you goes out to Lowe’s and it’s local staff who have a desire to truly be a good neighbor. Today’s announcement didn’t stop with that blessing. Syracuse University Men’s Basketball Coach Jim Boeheim stepped up to offer to match the funds, Mayor Walsh joined Common Council President Pro-Temp Khalid Bey to commit to doing all they could to support the Center with funding, and Assemblymember Pam Hunter shared that her office would work to identify more grant funding to further the work being done. 👏
