Founders of The Alexia at Newhouse Awarded With School’s Highest Medal

Peter and Aphrodite Tsairis received the Newhouse School Medal for Distinguished Service for their dedication to The Alexia, a visual journalism grants program at Newhouse.
Genaro Armas April 1, 2026

Peter and Aphrodite Tsairis turned grief into purpose following the death of their daughter Alexia in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.

Their commitment is galvanized through an initiative named after their daughter, honoring Alexia’s passion for photography and promoting the power of visual storytelling to shed light on significant issues around the world.

In recognition of the Tsairises’ dedication and generosity that dates back more than three decades, the presented the couple its highest honor, the Newhouse School Medal for Distinguished Service, during a ceremony held March 27 at the school.

It is thought to be the first time that Newhouse had awarded the medal since 1977, when legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite received the award from publisher S.I. Newhouse, for whom the school is named.

“It is fitting and long overdue that we recognize Peter and Aphrodite for their contributions to the mission of the Newhouse School and their extraordinary efforts to promote the power of visual storytelling,”  said before awarding the medal.

The ceremony took place during this year’s judging weekend for The Alexia competition. Before an audience that included their family and friends, along with Chancellor Kent Syverud, Chancellor-elect J. Michael Haynie and Provost Lois Agnew, the Tsairises thanked Lodato and highlighted the decades-long collaboration with previous deans and visual communications faculty.

From Tragedy to Purpose: The Story Behind The Alexia

was a 20-year-old photography major in Newhouse when she was one of 35  killed in the terrorist bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland, as they were returning home from a semester abroad in London. The victims are honored on campus in a memorial in front of the Hall of Languages.

Now in its 35th year, the initiative  has become an internationally recognized granting organization that supports documentary photographers and filmmakers worldwide. Also, the  is a marquee experiential learning opportunity at the University for visual communications students.

“The welcoming support extended from Newhouse to us for these 35 years is the glue that has held us all together, united in one goal—to inspire visual storytellers to go where we cannot, to bring us stories that enlarge our understanding and to give us hope in the future of humanity. Thank you so much,” Aphrodite Tsairis said.

The Tsairises remain close with David Sutherland, professor emeritus of visual communications and the former Alexia Chair. Sutherland taught their daughter in London and worked with the couple to establish The Alexia following the tragedy.

A Legacy of Support for Visual Storytellers Worldwide

Over its history, the foundation has awarded about $1.7 million in grants to 170 student and professional photographers and filmmakers through annual competitions.

Peter and Aphrodite Tsairis “might not realize that they have affected [the lives] of that many students around the world,” Sutherland said. “The ones that they gave awards to obviously ended up with life-changing events—getting scholarships and grants.”

The Alexia also has deep roots with the current Alexia Endowed Chair, , an associate professor of visual communications.  who also teaches graphic design and writing in the Newhouse School, is The Alexia’s curator of communications, design and exhibitions.

Aphrodite Tsairis said The Alexia will continue to thrive under the leadership of the Strongs.

“Your story is not the darkness. You refused to stay there,” Bruce Strong told the Tsairises from a podium. “You struck a match. That small act of creating light in a moment of overwhelming darkness became something far greater.”

The Newhouse School Medal for Distinguished Service recognizes friends of the school whose contributions have a lasting impact on students, the Newhouse School’s mission and the wider world.

More than 500 employees participated in a recent Wellness Initiative campaign to raise awareness for heart disease prevention.
Feb. 11, 2026

February marks , a time to spotlight cardiovascular health and heart disease prevention. University faculty and staff answered the call, with an estimated 500-plus employees submitting photos of themselves wearing red on , Friday, Feb. 6.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, affecting both men and women. National Wear Red Day serves as a reminder to prioritize heart health through regular exercise, healthy eating, stress management and preventive care.

Below are just some of the photo submissions that were received. Participants were also asked to offer perspectives on what heart health means to them—read on for some of their responses.

Participation from schools, colleges and business units across campus demonstrated that heart health means different things to different community members—but all perspectives emphasize care, connection and well-being.

“Heart health to our team means being there for each other to help manage stress at work,” shared the School of Architecture. “We celebrate when we succeed and we are there with support when we face challenges. We are a small school with a big heart.”

For Art Museum staff, heart health connects directly to family. “Heart health means making sure I’m healthy enough and live long enough to enjoy time with my loved ones,” one employee shared. “My heart is full when we’re together, and heart health keeps us together.”

Barnes Center at The Arch Counseling emphasized their commitment to integrated health, including heart disease awareness and prevention. Meanwhile, Advancement and External Affairs emphasized its focus on investing in physical health to strengthen meaningful connections within the Orange family.

Participants now await the results of a friendly competition: the unit with the highest percentage of employee participation will win a dark chocolate party for their entire team. Winners will be announced on the and in its , which faculty and staff can join by request.

Newhouse Professor Marks 30 Years Since Dayton With Balkan Photo Exhibition

The exhibition features powerful images that capture cultural identity and everyday life across the Balkans three decades after the historic peace agreement.
Genaro Armas Dec. 11, 2025

Snapping photos with just a smartphone,  spent four months traveling across southeastern Europe to create a powerful collection of images that capture life in a region still shaped by its history of conflict and resilience.

The results from Strong’s overseas endeavor are now on display. The new “Call to Me, Balkans” photo exhibition is open on campus in the Schine Student Center’s Panasci Lounge. The exhibition, also simultaneously on display in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, features black-and-white images from Strong’s travels to the region during his 2023 sabbatical and two subsequent trips.

The timing is significant: “Call to Me, Balkans” commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords, the agreement that ended the Bosnian war of the 1990s.

“‘Call to Me, Balkans’ captures the rich, diverse and interconnected cultures of the region,” says Strong, an associate professor of visual communications who teaches photo and video storytelling at the . “It celebrates the resilience and beauty of an area heavily impacted by such a devastating conflict.”

Strong has said he hopes the exhibition also fosters connections with Central New York’s Bosnian immigrant community.

Strong is The Alexia Endowed Chair at the Newhouse School. Through grants, scholarships and special projects for photographers, filmmakers and other visual creatives,  promotes the power of visual storytelling to shed light on significant issues around the world.

The November opening of the exhibition at Schine featured remarks from , dean of the Newhouse School; , senior associate dean for academic affairs in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs; , professor and undergraduate director of Maxwell’s anthropology department; and Imam , assistant dean for religious and spiritual life at Hendricks Chapel.

The exhibition is curated and designed by his wife, , the curator of communications, design and exhibitions for The Alexia, who also teaches graphic design and writing courses at Newhouse. Strong’s travels took him through Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Slovenia.

Strong developed the Schine exhibition with support from the Newhouse School’s , which funds faculty and student research. The National Gallery exhibition in Sarajevo was funded by the University’s .

Strong said he challenged himself on this project to work exclusively with a smartphone in order to push creative boundaries and prove that powerful storytelling doesn’t always require expensive equipment.

This project has already received international acclaim, with work from the exhibition awarded by the Sarajevo Photography Festival and featured in China as a solo exhibition at the Pingyao International Photo Festival in 2024.
