After the deaths of Syracuse University alumni Stanley and Cecilia Katz, their family has donated $2 million to SU’s Forever Orange campaign, according to an SU News release.
The gift will support two funds in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. The Birkhead-Burkhead Endowed Fund for student Financial Assistance will be used for scholarships and fellowships for SU graduate students. The family also created The Melvin Eggers Graduate Economics Scholarship for SU graduate students pursuing doctoral degrees in economics.
Forever Orange is SU’s $1.5 billion capital campaign, launched in November 2019. University leaders have said the campaign is on track to surpass the $1 billion mark by late spring or early summer.
With 345 votes and three percentage points separating Shelly Petrolia and Tracy Caruso, Tuesday’s election win showed a significantly divided electorate in the mayor’s race.

Shelly Petrolia was on Tuesday’s ballot.
She won. Barely.
He won. Big.
Petrolia and Singer, the mayors of Delray Beach and Boca Raton involved themselves in this year’s elections to an unusually high degree for these cities. Each was seeking to create a like-minded voting bloc.
Petrolia began her effort last year. She helped to defeat a well-financed, well-known incumbent, Bill Bathurst, and replace him with Juli Casale. In the last year, Casale has been a Petrolia loyalist on everything from firing the city manager to ignoring science on sea grape trimming.
