The president of the Posse Foundation rescheduled her planned Monday visit to the Syracuse University campus due to the snowstorm in New York City.

Deborah Bial, president of the foundation, will now visit campus on Feb. 4, according to an SU News release. Originally, Bial, along with Chancellor Kent Syverud, was expected to meet with current SU Posse scholars and attend a panel discussion led by Posse students. However, due to Winter Storm Juno, Bial and other members of the foundation were unable to get to campus. Posse is a national program that recruits scholars from cities around the country and offers them full tuition scholarships at four-year universities.

Last semester, SU announced that next year it would reduce the number of Posses it supports from three — in Miami, Los Angeles and Atlanta — to two, eliminating the Los Angeles Posse. The university also announced it will only maintain its Atlanta Posse for next year, while keeping the Miami Posse in the long term. The continuing Posses will each support 10 new students. Many students, including current Posse scholars, protested the changes and the way they were announced.

Syverud invited Bial to visit campus when he met with her at the Posse Foundation offices in New York City in October.

“The university has a set of exceptional Posse Scholars on campus, and Syracuse is an overall leader in supporting the Posse model,” Bial said in the news release. “I look forward to engaging with Chancellor Syverud and others on how to keep our partnership strong.”

SU is one of 51 colleges and universities in the country that partners with Posse, according to the release.
