Dear UM Community, 

Tomorrow is Veterans Day, a national remembrance that resonates deeply within the UM community and the 1,400 veterans and military-affiliated members of our campus.

This week we honor those who served our country through a series of on-campus events, panels, competitions and gatherings. It has been inspiring to see our campus participate in these events to support our veterans and military-affiliated students.

This support is just one of the many reasons we’ve earned a national reputation for being one of the most military friendly universities in the country. We continually work together to support programs that foster success for these students who mean so much to our campus.

Although our campus is closed tomorrow to celebrate Veterans Day, there are still events that you can participate in to show your continued support:

• Veterans Day Warrior Challenge: 5-8 p.m. Friday @ PEAK Health and Wellness Center.
• Greenlighting UM’s Main Hall to Honor Veterans: 7 p.m. Friday @ Main Hall
• Military Appreciation Football Game: 1 p.m. Saturday @ Washington-Grizzly Stadium.

I want to express my personal gratitude for each veteran who makes up our UM community. As we continue to grow and expand our Military and Veteran Services Office under the leadership of Patrick Beckwith, I am incredibly optimistic that UM will welcome more service-oriented students to campus in the years ahead.

Go Griz.

Seth
