In celebration of Veterans Week 2017 at Syracuse University, the Office of Veterans and Military Affairs is recognizing the success stories of one current student veteran and one military-connected alumni each day of the week.

The stories highlighted this week are just some of the many contributions making Syracuse University the best place for veterans.
