Veterans Awareness Month
We salute you. Student today, Graduate tomorrow, Veteran forever.
Veterans Day is a tribute to those who've served, initially commemorating fallen heroes as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I. In 1954, it evolved into "Veterans Day" to honor all veterans of all wars.
We value and appreciate your service and support to our college and community.
