CAZENOVIA, N.Y. — Preparing for its upcoming closure, Cazenovia College says it’s signed several agreements making Le Moyne College in Syracuse its legacy institution.
Under those agreements, Le Moyne will maintain Cazenovia College student, alumni, and human-resource records, per Wednesday’s announcement. It’ll also dedicate space on the Le Moyne campus to preserve the legacy of Cazenovia College.
Cazenovia plans to transfer records to Le Moyne upon the completion of the academic year at the end of June. Le Moyne will maintain the records as required and provide continued access to Cazenovia students and alumni.
“Le Moyne is pleased to support and recognize the many contributions that Cazenovia College has made to the higher education landscape during its nearly 200-year history,” Le Moyne College President Linda LeMura said in the Cazenovia news release. “We look forward to welcoming Cazenovia students to our campus this fall and engaging Cazenovia alumni in the coming years.”
In the interest of preserving the legacy of Cazenovia College upon its closing, Le Moyne has also agreed to dedicate space in the Noreen Reale Falcone Library to display the history of Cazenovia College. It’ll include artifacts and memorabilia such as yearbooks dating back to 1881, along with the creation of a Cazenovia named garden near the library.
In addition, Le Moyne will have a named space in the W. Carroll Coyne Center for the Performing Arts to honor Cazenovia College’s commitment to the visual arts. To further support the College’s legacy, Le Moyne will maintain engagement and programming with Cazenovia alumni.
“Le Moyne and Cazenovia College have a long history of working together,” David Bergh, president of Cazenovia College, said. “While we approach the College’s closing with sadness, we are pleased to have Le Moyne be the institution to maintain the records and legacy of Cazenovia College.”
