SYRACUSE — Syracuse University starts hosting a class of military veterans this weekend as part of its sixth annual Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV).
The program trains post-Sept. 11 veterans with service-connected disabilities in entrepreneurship and small-business management. It was first founded at Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management in 2007 and runs under the university’s Institute for Veterans and Military Families.
This year’s class is made up of 27 veterans ranging from 24 years old to 57 years old, according to a news release. Twelve are Marine Corps veterans, 10 are Army veterans, two are from the Navy, and three served in the Air Force. Participants come from around the country, and five are from New York.
