Veterans Day 2017

In celebration of Veterans Day, and in keeping with the University’s commitment to be the “best place for veterans,” Syracuse will host multiple events ahead of the official observance on Sunday, Nov. 11. Syracuse’s commitment to veterans dates back to World War II when Chancellor William P. Tolley opened the University’s doors to military personnel returning from war and continues today with veteran and military-connected programs and resources, including the Office of Veteran and Military Affairs, the Office of Veteran Success and the Institute for Veterans and Military Families. The University was recently named the No. 1 private school on the Military Times’ annual Best for Vets rankings.
