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.
The EBV consists of three stages including online coursework, a residency, and 12 months of continuing support and mentorship. This year’s residency at Syracuse University kicks off with an opening ceremony on Saturday and concludes with a graduation ceremony and awards presentation on Aug. 4.
A total of seven other institutions are running EBV programs this year: the University of California, Los Angeles; Florida State University; Texas A&M University; Purdue University; the University of Connecticut; Louisiana State University; and Cornell University.
