Campus ChampionSUNY Cortland’s celebration of Non-Traditional Students Week will give way to a Veterans Day ceremony Monday, and students like Cadet Joseph Ursitti represent the importance of both. Roughly 300 non-traditional students — undergraduates who have decided to go back to school after a delay in their education — study at the College. Joseph, for instance, served tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 30-year-old political science major won the Army Commendation Medal with Valor for his actions during a daring mission. It’s just one of the things he’ll address as keynote speaker at the 3 p.m. Veterans Day ceremony in Brockway Hall Jacobus Lounge.
