Syracuse-area veterans will have a chance to connect with benefits specialists, health care enrollment help, and local support services under one roof when the ‘Cuse Vet Fest for 9/11 Day comes to Syracuse University College of Law’s Dineen Hall. The event takes place Friday, September 11, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Levy Atrium. Admission is free, with free parking available in the Irving Garage.
