Syracuse Law Hosts Annual Veterans Day Ceremony and Celebration

The College of Law hosted its 8th annual Veterans Day Ceremony and Celebration, highlighted by four Syracuse Law student-veteran speakers who discussed their service experiences.

The student speakers were Ava Dussmann L’27, Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force; Nicholas Hardy L’27, U.S. Army veteran; Rebecca Lee L’27, a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and Frederick Wilkes L’27, a U.S. Army veteran.

Anthony Ruscitto L’26, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, provided the welcome remarks. Col. Klint Kuhlman, the U.S. Army Fellow at the Institute for Security Policy and Law, delivered the closing address.

“We must honor those who serve in the military – past, present, and future – and as we recognize the common bonds between those who support and defend the Constitution in uniform and those who do so as lawyers,” says the Hon. James E. Baker, director of the Institute for Security Policy and Law.

The event was sponsored by the Institute for Security Policy and Law, the National Security Student Association, the Military and Veterans Law Society, and the Betty and Michael D. Wohl Veterans Legal Clinic.
