Veteran Program House

625 University Ave, Ithaca, NY 14850, USA

Having opened Fall 2021, in collaboration with the Cornell Undergraduate Veterans Association, this program house joins together the student-veteran community and civic-minded undergraduate and graduate students to live in a communal, co-ed environment. While the focus of the program house is to support Cornell’s Student-Veterans, having a diverse residential program will help foster an atmosphere that not only benefits veteran and civil service related students, but also creates greater awareness of Student-Veterans and the unique challenges they face.

The Veteran Program House also serves as a supportive community to further the success of the Cornell military-affiliated community at large. This community includes graduate and professional Student-Veterans, staff and faculty, as well as ROTC students who look to serve our nation upon graduation and would benefit from interacting with veterans who have "been there and done that."
