Fall Fridays Guided Walking Tours
2pm, 227 Bray Hall

What -- or who -- is a “Nifkin?” Where can you get a cup of coffee? Where is the nearest wireless access? What plants are grown in the greenhouses on top of Illick Hall? What does a biofuel cell look like? A fifty-minute campus tour with an ESF graduate student host includes visits across the ESF campus. Tours stop at specific department offices by request. (Visitors are welcome to visit classroom buildings, libraries, and other facilities at their leisure after the tour). Tours are subject to modification or cancellation in inclement weather.

Enjoy your visit and make the most of the day:

• Wear comfortable shoes and come prepared for our terrain. Dress with our unpredictable Central New York weather in mind. For latest weather conditions visit weather.com for Syracuse, NY.
• Arrive early to allow for parking. For directions to campus and parking information, visit http://www.esf.edu/maps/
• Bring a camera, take pictures, and share the pictures with friends & family.
• Allow enough time to explore the campus and surrounding areas on your own. Tours do NOT typically include the Syracuse University campus.

The best time to visit SUNY ESF is during the regular semester schedule when faculty, staff, and students are on campus and can answer your questions. We cannot schedule tours during semester breaks, final exam weeks, or weekends.
