Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Army!

For 251 years, Soldiers have served our nation with courage, commitment, and selfless service.

Today, we recognize the Army's enduring legacy and the members of the Syracuse University community who have worn the uniform.

Supporting others starts with taking care of yourself.

On June 18, join our partner, Cabana Health, for Combating Compassion Fatigue: a session designed to help you recharge through a short, personalized guided meditation practice. No prior meditation experience or participation is required.

Whether you're supporting family, friends, colleagues, or your community, this is an opportunity to pause and focus on your own well-being. https://bit.ly/4oq48JF

This year, our community awarded $245,000 in scholarships and emergency funding, commissioned 26 cadets, and celebrated 50 student veterans becoming Syracuse University alumni.

Behind those numbers are students like Anthony Ruscitto '22, G'23, L'27.

A Marine veteran, Pat Tillman Foundation Scholar, and current Syracuse University College of Law student, Anthony received support through the Veteran Legacy Fund and is now preparing for a summer internship with the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office's Office.

Every gift helps military-connected students keep moving forward. https://bit.ly/4ed3ABZ
