Student Veterans Appreciation Day
On November 14, 2007, over 300 veterans, their families, and supporters came together to recognize the student veterans at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. 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 U of M Pep Band, and a free chili lunch. The noon-time event concluded with a U. S. Air Force F16 flyover over the mall. The photograhs below highlight the event.
Many thanks to the event co-sponsors: the Veterans Transition Center, Coca-Cola Beverage Partnership, Office for Student Affairs, One Stop Student Services, TCF Bank, and University Dining Services
