To recognize those who have sacrificed so selflessly to defend our lives and our country, please join UCLA’s annual Veterans Day ceremony and information fair in Wilson Plaza at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, November 10, 2016.
On the 10th, Chancellor Block will join with campus ROTC units to recognize United States veterans and to hear remarks from Johnnie Ashe, the brother of Arthur Ashe, who so bravely went to war in place of his brother to enable him to pursue his tennis career. We will also hear from Army veteran and UCLA MFA graduate student Mitchell LaFortune. Please RSVP for the ceremony by emailing uclarsvp@support.ucla.edu or calling (310) 794-6241.
Following the ceremony, you can take part in the Warrior Games. This series of social and recreational activities, organized by the Veterans Resource Office, is an opportunity to meet student veterans in a casual setting.
The UCLA Veterans Day ceremony organized by ROTC and the activities led by our Veterans Resource Office are just a couple examples of the time, effort, and resources UCLA puts into honoring and caring for our veterans. For more information on UCLA’s commitment to veterans and a recent agreement that will strengthen UCLA’s academic affiliation with the West LA VA campus, please visit www.veterans.ucla.edu
