Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter will visit Syracuse University next Tuesday, according to Stars and Stripes.

Carter will speak to students and participate in a roundtable discussion with members of the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, Stars and Stripes reported Wednesday. The focus of the meeting will be on transitioning service members back into civilian life after they leave the military, Defense Department spokesman Col. Steve Warren told the newspaper. The time of the event was not specified.

The IVMF and the Department of Defense recently announced the creation of the “Onward to Opportunity” program to help service members transition to civilian life.

Carter assumed office on Feb. 17 after his predecessor, Chuck Hagel, resigned on Nov. 24, 2014. Carter will also make trips to Philadelphia and Fort Drum, which is located about an hour north of SU.

The trip is Carter’s first domestic trip since taking office, Stars and Stripes reported.
