Earlier this year, Intercontinental Exchange – the leading network of regulated exchanges and clearinghouses for financial and commodity markets, including the New York Stock Exchange – formally announced their support of the work of the Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) and Syracuse University.
“Syracuse University is dedicated to being the best place for veterans,” says Chancellor Kent Syverud. “We are proud to have the Intercontinental Exchange as a partner in our work to serve transitioning service members, veterans and their families.”
Vice Chancellor Mike Haynie added that, in addition to the positive exposure the NYSE closing bell brings Syracuse University, “the ongoing partnership with Intercontinental Exchange will help us strengthen the education and resource initiatives already in place, and help Syracuse University and the IVMF develop new ways to help our veterans be successful in their post-service lives.”
