Last night, we celebrated U.S. Navy MC2 Joshua Carabajal as Syracuse University's Hometown Hero during the men's football game against the University of Louisville.

Carabajal is currently a student in the Advanced Military Visual Journalism program at Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications, pursuing a master's degree in multimedia, photography, and design. Upon graduation, he will return to the fleet to tell the stories of U.S. sailors around the world.

Congratulations, MC2 Carabajal!

Leadership lessons from those who have led before us. 🍊

@SyracuseU alum Lt. Col. Robert Clemens ’69, U.S. Army (Ret.), returned to campus to share his experiences and leadership insights with our senior @armyrotc_syracuse cadets.

From lessons learned in service to the responsibilities ahead, his visit offered valuable perspectives as our cadets prepare to become Army officers.

To our veteran alumni: Your experiences can help inspire the next generation of military leaders. We'd love to welcome you back to campus!
