Veterans Day Ceremony to honor military service 

11/10/2026

SUNY Cortland is inviting the community to attend its Veterans Day Ceremony at 3 p.m. this Wednesday, Nov. 11, to honor the military service of veterans from the university and surrounding areas.  

The event in Old Main Brown Auditorium will feature a slideshow tribute to local veterans, along with guest speaker Kevin Arnold ’95.  

Arnold is currently the university’s parking operations supervisor and a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors. He served in the U.S. Army Security Agency from 1972 to 1975 during the Vietnam War, stationed at several military bases in the continental U.S. as part of his mission-essential role. 

After his military service, he earned a bachelor’s degree in economics as a nontraditional student. He continues to help build community among alumni who are veterans. 

Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony. Contact the university’s Campus Event Management Office at [email protected] or 607-753-5453 with questions.
