SARATOGA SPRINGS — Empire State University celebrated the opening of its Veteran and Military Resource Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday.

Notable attendees of the event included New York State Senator James Tedisco, a representative who spoke on behalf of Congressman Paul Tonko, and school mascot Blue the Bluebird.
