transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The Universitys contemporary commitment to veterans
builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to
the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military
veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.
