Study Abroad Alumni Among 2017-18 Remembrance Scholars

Syracuse University’s Remembrance Scholar Selection Committee has chosen the 35 students who will be the 2017-18 Remembrance Scholars. Of the students selected, 17 have either already studied abroad, or will be spending the Fall 2017 semester on a Syracuse Abroad program.

The scholarships were founded as a tribute to—and means of remembering—the 35 students who were killed in the Dec. 21, 1988, bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. The students, who were returning from a semester of study in London and Florence, were among the 270 people who perished in the bombing. Remembrance Scholars each represent one of the 35 SU students who perished in the flight.

Two Lockerbie Scholars are also selected from Lockerbie, Scotland, to attend SU for a year of study. Andrew Dorrance and Heather Mutch, both Lockerbie Academy students, will be the Lockerbie representatives next year. They will work in the Syracuse Abroad office as work study students, and we look forward to welcoming them to campus in August.
