Cornell hosted a variety of events in celebration of this year’s Veterans Day, but some students wish for the University to grant students the day off.
A new resolution passed by the Graduate Students and Professionals Assembly, the Student Assembly and the University Assembly advocates making Veteran’s Day a University holiday.
Ithaca’s VFW and members of the community organized the parade, and the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Ithaca College helped with setup. The fraternity has helped run the Veterans Day parade for three years, its president said.
“I can imagine that for many veterans, adjusting to University life can be challenging, and it goes without saying that their immense sacrifices deserve our recognition and respect,” he said. “I’m proud that groups like Theta Delta Chi are taking a lead in honoring our veterans, and I hope that their action inspires community-wide recognition and administrative support.”
