Office of the Assemblies

Dear President Garrett,<br /><br />I would like to convey Resolution 33: Supporting the Establishment of a Veterans Resource Center to you.

Dear President Garrett,<br /><br />I would like to convey Resolution 33: Supporting the Establishment of a Veterans Resource Center to you. This resolution is sponsored by Matthew Indimine (Ex-Officio Representative from the University Assembly), Dustin Liu (Freshman Representative), Seamus Murphy (President of Cornell Undergraduate Veterans Association), and David Outlaw (Member of Cornell Undergraduate Veterans Association).<br /><br />This resolution requests for the creation a Veterans Resource Center, which would serve as a team room for students who have served our country. The recommendation also includes a full-time staff member, who would serve as a liaison for veteran students to various university resources, including financial aid, health services, and career services. These students are facing barriers in interacting with different administrative departments.<br /><br />At this time, the Student Assembly has only provided recommendations for the creation of such a center. In moving forward, students hopefully will be directly involved in creating ways to facilitate veterans' adjustments to campus life, post-service.<br /><br />Thank you for the time and consideration.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Juliana
