Veteran and Military Student Services (VMSS) and Student Life will be tabling in the courtyard to hand out miniature US flags to anyone who would like to place one in the courtyard lawn in remembrance of fallen Servicemembers. You don’t have to know anyone personally to participate, but if there is someone specific you would like to honor, we will have materials available. To get flag(s), please visit our table in the courtyard at the following days/times:

  • Wednesday, May 21, 10am-2pm
  • Thursday, May 22, 10am-2pm

You can also visit the Veterans Resource Center during normal business hours (8am-5pm) if you missed tabling.

  • what “facts” really are myths,
  • the Impact of PTSD on the Veteran population,
  • what the Veteran Employment and wages environment looks like,
  • how Veterans and Problem-solving go hand-in-hand, and
  • what the real story is behing the “Homeless Veteran epidemic.”
