veterans resource center honors 911 victims

For the first time since Fall 2019, the Veterans Resource Center held a memorial on campus
honoring the lives lost on September 11.

The VRC placed 2,977 flags into the ground, one for every life lost. The flags placed created a design of the Twin Towers surrounded by a pentagon.

The event also featured Wounded Warriors, Dogs for Warriors, and a sidewalk chalk opportunity, 
where students were able to write their thoughts on the campus walkway. Veteran Services
Coordinator, Jason Alvarez, said that the VRC is planning a “kickback” event every month to engage 
and reach the campus community and other veteran/dependent students.

A chess tournament and their annual Veterans Day Celebration (November 10) are also in the works.
