SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- It's not every day you see a prince in Central New York, but on Friday, Prince Sultan bin Salaman, was in town to accept Syracuse University's Chancellor's Medal. He was recognized for his work in launching a collaborative partnership between SU and the first all-female university in Saudi Arabia. Something he said he does not deserve all the credit for.

"I haven't done really much work to earn this, the work that has been done has been done by thousands of people and about nearly 15 organizations that I belong to, was privileged to be part of the foundations of these organizations," said Prince Sultan bin Salaman.

Sultan was the sole recipient of the Chancellor's Medal this year.
