University of Minnesota Student Veterans Appreciation Day Event

On November 14, 2007, over 300 veterans, their families, and supporters came together to recognize the contributions of student veterans at the University of Minnesota. The first University of Minnesota Student Veterans Appreciation Day event featured remarks by University President Robert Bruininks, Regent Dean Johnson, Chair Patricia Simmons, and student veteran Aaron Ledebuhr, plus the ROTC Joint-Service Color Guard and the Minnesota Marching Band. The noon-time event concluded with a U. S. Air Force F16 flyover over the mall. The pictures below show highlights of the event.

Many thanks to the event co-sponsors, including the Veterans Transition Center, Coca-Cola Beverage Partnership, Office for Student Affairs, One Stop Student Services, TCF Bank, and University Dining Services
