SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Visions Federal Credit Union (FCU) on Friday formally opened its financial-readiness kiosk area at Syracuse University’s (SU) National Veterans Resource Center (NVRC) at the Daniel & Gayle D’Aniello Building on campus.
This resource for student veterans and military families is made possible by the collaboration between Visions FCU and SU’s Office of Veteran and Military Affairs (OVMA), Visions said in its announcement.
The financial-readiness kiosk seeks to provide “support and guidance” for SU’s veteran and military-connected community, Visions said. Financial-readiness modules, online resources, and an event calendar will help in “navigating financial challenges and achieving long-term economic stability in a convenient and interactive way.”
Speakers at the event included J. Michael Haynie, SU’s vice chancellor for strategic initiatives and innovation; U.S. Army Colonel (Ret.) Ron Novack, executive director of the SU’s Office of Military and Veterans Affairs; and Tim Strong, director of branding and public relations at Visions FCU.
The Visions FCU financial-readiness kiosk area is one component of the Visions Student Veteran Success Program, the credit union said.
Visions FCU and OVMA announced the launch of the Visions Student Veteran Success Program at the Veteran and Military-Connected Student Orientation in the fall of 2022.
The program provides new academic resources and professional-advancement services to the military-connected community at Syracuse University and is open to all enrolled student veterans and their families, the credit union noted.
