If you\u2019re a veteran interested in pursuing a career in the political world, Syracuse University may have just the program for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fall, Syracuse will launch its \u201cVeterans in Politics<\/a>\u201d academic program, which is designed to give veterans and military family members a crash course in what it takes to succeed at all levels of politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe hope to in a very practical way create the opportunity to put the veterans who participate in the program on a path to enacting their aspiration for office,\u201d said Mike Haynie, Syracuse\u2019s vice chancellor for strategic initiatives and innovation. Haynie also serves as the executive director of the school\u2019s Institute for Veterans and Military Families<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Veterans in Politics program will be run out of Syracuse\u2019s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Haynie said that veterans will learn valuable skills like campaign planning, fundraising, developing an issues platform and crafting policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also said that Syracuse plans to ask some of the veterans currently serving in Congress to come impart their wisdom to students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haynie is a veteran himself, having served in the Air Force from 1992 to 2006 as a logistician. For him, getting more veterans elected to office has larger implications than just representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe as a citizen that it\u2019s important the individuals making decisions about sending the nation\u2019s sons and daughters to war have firsthand experience of what that means,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the program\u2019s goals is to increase the number of veterans getting elected to political offices. Only 96 veterans are currently serving<\/a> in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justin Brown \u2014 founder of the nonprofit Hillvets<\/a> that supports veterans and troops interested in politics \u2014 said that less than 2 percent of Capitol Hill staff have military experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnything that is creative and will help veterans get smart in terms of being engaged in the political system is very positive,\u201d he said. \u201cVeterans obviously have a history of putting our country before politics, so having more veterans involved in government and politics … is a very good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown also brought up the notion that veterans\u2019 identities tend to \u201ctrump party ideology,\u201d as they \u201cidentify more strongly with their military service\u201d than a political party. That philosophy makes them the ideal public servants, according to Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student veterans at Syracuse University participate in the ROTC Army and Air Force 101st Chancellor’s Review in 2018. (Syracuse University)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Poag is a 36-year-old Marine veteran and Syracuse sophomore majoring in public relations and political science. He wants to break into the political realm, and he said he reached out for more information on the Veterans in Politics program the day it was announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhenever you\u2019re combining anything that the IVMF and Maxwell school are doing, it\u2019s going to be phenomenal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poag believes that veterans are uniquely qualified to hold political office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think veterans bring to the table a lot of experience in serving,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir drive is to serve and be a part of something larger than themselves. I think we need more people in politics that have that intent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth mentioning that though a program like this tailored specifically to veterans is rare, it\u2019s not the only one of its kind. The University of San Francisco offers a Master of Arts in public leadership<\/a> \u201cdesigned specifically for veterans and military families,\u201d according to its website. That program, however, is open to the whole student population, while Syracuse\u2019s is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veterans currently serving in Congress on both sides of the aisle agreed that this program sounds like a worthwhile endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., is an Army veteran and the ranking member of the House Committee on Veterans\u2019 Affairs. He said he isn\u2019t satisfied with less than 20 percent of the House being veterans, which is the case as it stands now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe great thing is that Syracuse University has acknowledged that there probably is a need out there for this and is putting a course on,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s phenomenal that they\u2019re doing that and I bet they won\u2019t be the last one to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., a Marine Corps veteran who recently announced<\/a> his 2020 presidential bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has been supporting veterans with political aspirations through his Serve America PAC, which helped 18 candidates<\/a> win races during the last midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need more veterans and national security professionals in public office, because veterans are accountable to their team and constituents, they\u2019re moral leaders and they get things done,\u201d he told Rebootcamp via email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To some veterans, political work is just another form of service. For Syracuse\u2019s Haynie, giving vets the opportunity to learn the tricks of the political trade through the Veterans in Politics program was the university\u2019s way of serving them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[O]ur thought was, \u2018this is what we do, so why not leverage that resource to serve our community,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
