Daniel MacDonald, owner of MacDonald Engineering, is the first veteran to be hired to work on the National Veterans Resource Center
Daniel (Dan) MacDonald, Marine Corps Veteran and owner of MacDonald Engineering is the first veteran to be hired to work on the National Veterans Resource Center (NVRC). Syracuse University Vice Chancellor Mike Haynie stated that “it’s as it should be, that the first person hired on the NVRC construction was a veteran, because it represents our commitment to support and empower this community, the veteran and military-connected community.” MacDonald is working as a land surveyor on the future site of the National Veterans Resource Center. He states that there has never been a project he has been more proud to work on. On the university’s commitment to veterans, MacDonald believes that “this speaks volumes … you don’t put up a multi-million dollar building if you’re not committed.”
