Dan Cordial For U.S Army veteran Daniel Cordial, as he stepped foot onto the Syracuse University campus, he was taking advantage of a second chance at working towards the life he wanted. Cordial graduated with a degree in political science in 2018 and was accepted to the Executive Master’s in Public Administration program at the Maxwell School. During his time at the University, he has found a unique chance to use his veteran status to impact the local community. "During my senior year, I was accepted to an internship in the office of Assemblywoman Pamela Hunter (D-Syracuse)," Cordial says. "After that internship was over, they called me up and offered me a job that had a flexible schedule so that I could continue school."
