Welcome Letter from Dr. Malika Carter, Ph.D, Chief Diversity Officer

The Office of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity has shared responsibility for coordination of all aspects of our Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity commitment, and regulatory compliance obligations. This includes working collaboratively with other campus partners as part of our mission. To achieve remarkable results, and to achieve our mission, an inclusive organization must be created and sustained. We're committed to an environment that is civil, respectful, fair, accessible, safe, and nurturing. We invite you to join us in creating that inclusive community and engage in a dialogue directly with my office, publicly or privately. Our office is located in Suite 445 in Baker Laboratory. Best of wishes to you in continued success here at ESF.

• Direct Deposit to an existing account

• Deposit to a BankMobile Vibe Checking Account

If you are eligible to receive a refund, you will receive information directly from BankMobile through US Mail as well as through your SYR.EDU email account. 

Once your Personal Code arrives, you should go to RefundSelection.com and enter your code to select how you would like to receive your money.
