Syracuse University is an equal-opportunity,
affirmative-action institution. The University prohibits discrimination and harassment based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender,
national origin, citizenship, ethnicity, marital status, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, veteran
status, or any other status protected by applicable law to the extent prohibited by law. This nondiscrimination policy covers admissions,

Syracuse University has a long history of
engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After
World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed
Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this
historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11
generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members
of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.

Syracuse University maintains an inclusive learning environment in which
students, faculty, administrators, staff, curriculum, social activities, governance, and all other aspects of campus life reflect a diverse,
multi-cultural, and international worldview. The University community recognizes and values the many similarities and differences among
individuals and groups. At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to understand, live among, appreciate, and work in an inherently
diverse country and world made up of people with different ethnic and racial backgrounds, military backgrounds, religious beliefs,
socio-economic status, cultural traditions, abilities, sexual orientations and gender identities. To do so, we commit ourselves to promoting
a community that celebrates and models the principles of diversity and inclusivity.
