For the second consecutive year, veteran and military students attending Empire State University were honored for their contributions to the nation and to the university community. The “Honoring Our Heroes” event was held Wednesday, November 19 at SUNY Empire’s Veteran and Military Resource Center (VMRC), located at 111 West Avenue in Saratoga. The banners are proudly displayed outside the VMRC.

Empire State University leadership, faculty, and staff attended the event, as well as Saratoga Springs Mayor John Safford, and representatives from SUNY, the Veteran Community Housing Coalition, Saratoga Economic Development Corporation, NYS Department of Veteran Services, and the Capital Region Chamber. The 14 honorees were nominated by mentors and staff across the university and selected by a committee.

Empire State University serves more than 1,000 military-affiliated students, more than any other SUNY institution – granting 20% of all military-affiliated four-year degrees within SUNY.
