Prospective Students

The School of Information Studies at Syracuse University provides students at the undergraduate and graduate levels with the education and skills necessary to excel in any field in today's digital society. We educate professionals who aim to expand human capabilities through information, recognizing that information management and technology are a means to an end and that end is ultimately for people.
 
Originally founded as a library science school in 1896, we were the first to embrace the information revolution by becoming the Original Information School in 1974. Today, the school is ranked No. 1 in information systems by U.S. News and World Report, and serves as a model for other iSchools that are continuing to emerge around the globe.
 
The School of Information Studies offers the benefits of an intimate learning environment, where students and faculty interact on a personal level and collaborate on research projects. At the same time, it is located within a major university, with rich resources and numerous academic, extracurricular, and cultural opportunities.

The conference was held at the Syracuse Tech Garden and awarded prizes, from cash to legal consultation to iPads. The two Syracuse University students founded Grafighters, an online fighting game where anyone's sketches can come to life, located at the Student Sandbox. Grafighters has been named the Economic Champions of 2009 by the Chamber of Commerce and the two were the winners of the 2009 Sandbox Demo Day. Grafighters also received an Orange Tree Fund award of $12,000.
