2017 Nov 16

Lucas Tracy of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. was among the honored guests at the fourth annual SUNY New Paltz Veterans Day Dining In.

Approximately 150 guests were in attendance at the ceremony, as more students, faculty, staff and alumni than ever came out to honor the College's growing population of military service members, veterans and dependants.

"Today we gather as a campus community to honor our veteran and service members, past and present, for their service to this great country and the sacrifice each and every one of them has made," said Jason Gilliland, coordinator of veteran and military services.

SUNY New Paltz has been recognized by G.I Jobs as a Military Friendly Gold Status school, a validation that places it within the top 20 percent of all U.S. colleges and universities in its embrace of military-affiliated students and dedication of resources to ensure their success in the classroom and after graduation.
