The name says it all - this blog is a place for members of the EOC community to report about what's going on here at the EOC, or to reflect about what's going on anywhere else in the world. We welcome contributions from not only our staff, but from our students, alumni, and community partners.

The Syracuse EOC community will again be participating in a "shared reading" experience in 2009.  This year, we are reading A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, the book chosen by Syracuse University's Shared Reading Program.

It's that time of year again - we're putting our kids on the bus, breaking out the cool-weather jackets, and looking up to the tops of the trees to see how much the color has changed.  Here at the Syracuse EOC, classes started on Monday.  Students have been coming in ready to learn and expand their opportunities!

Over the summer, we've seen some welcome changes.  The most obvious to you will probably be the fresh paint, the new carpeting, and the shiny furniture that you'll find throughout the building.  In fact, you've probably already seen all the new stuff in the Admissions Office (room 200).  But make sure you also get up to the Administration Office in room 313 to check out the new digs there!  And we're not done yet - so make sure you watch your step over the next few weeks if you see people working in the hallways or classrooms.
