I’m excited to hear about the growing opportunities you and @cuny.bsky.social are launching; however; with the exception of revamping the CUNY #veterans webpage, you have not addressed updating this report & it’s now over 11 years old.

I participated in a discussion on Thursday with advocates & the @nyccouncil.bsky.social on the future of #veterans needs and services in #NYC. A lot was discussed & there’s work ahead, but I’m hopeful the conversation provided a better understanding of the community’s issues and needs!
