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.
