Syracuse University’s commitment to veterans and military-connected communities will take center stage on Wednesday, April 10, during a pair of events hosted at the National Veterans Resource Center (NVRC). The campus community is invited to attend both gatherings, which highlight academic innovation, community partnerships and personal stories of resilience and leadership.
The afternoon begins with the Voices of Service Poster Event, taking place from 12:30 to 3 p.m. in the Bisignano Grand Hall. Organized by Academic Affairs and the D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF), the event showcases research projects, curricular initiatives and community-based efforts led by Syracuse University students, faculty, staff and partners. From veteran-centered education programs to collaborative outreach initiatives, the event offers a glimpse into the diverse ways the university supports military-connected populations.
Brief remarks will be delivered at 12:45 p.m. and attendees are encouraged to engage with presenters to learn more about ongoing and future projects. The event is open to all and aims to foster new collaborations across disciplines and departments.
Those planning to attend the poster event are asked to RSVP here.
Following the poster session, attention turns to the K.G. Tan Auditorium for the next installment of the D’Aniello Speaker Series, beginning at 3 p.m.
This edition features a keynote from retired U.S. Air Force Col. Martha McSally, who is among the first women combat pilots in the U.S. military, and a former U.S. senator and representative. McSally, who served in Congress from 2015 to 2020, will share personal insights on facing adversity, leading with courage, and breaking down barriers in both military and political arenas.
Her talk, “Be Unbreakable,” promises to deliver an inspiring narrative of resilience and determination—hallmarks of McSally’s trailblazing career. A reception will follow back in the Grand Hall.
To attend the speaker series, RSVP here.
Together, these events reflect Syracuse University’s ongoing mission to be the best place for veterans—on campus, in the community and across the country.
