Last week, military veterans traveled to Cornell for a rigorous one-week academic program to help them prepare for their undergraduate education.

The program, hosted by the Warrior-Scholar Project, aids veterans in obtaining four-year degree while acknowledging the emotional and cultural transitions that may be necessary for them to adjust to higher education, according to a press release.

Cornell — one of fifteen campuses across the country to provide this academic program — began hosting the program in 2015 and has 15 participants this summer, according to WSP Executive Director Sidney Ellington.
