POSTPONED

Due to the evolving situation with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and to best protect members of our campus community and our guests, we are postponing the grand opening of the National Veterans Resource Center at the Daniel & Gayle D’Aniello building originally scheduled for April 17th, 2020. We will announce a new date as soon as possible.

The NVRC will enable class-leading innovative academic research and actionable programming in support of our nation’s service members, veterans and their families on the campus of Syracuse University and around the world. It will also be home to the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, the Office of Veterans and Military Affairs and other student veteran support service offices.

 Stay up-to-date on the opening!
