[Important Information for Employees] Happy Veterans Day

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus,

Today, as the United States celebrates Veterans Day, we recognize the
commitment and countless contributions of our soldiers, sailors, Airmen,
Marines, Coast Guardsmen, Merchant Mariners, and their families.

In 1954, when November 11th was officially named Veterans Day, President
Dwight D. Eisenhower called upon all citizens to join to “solemnly remember
the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly on the seas, in the
air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage of freedom.”

This country’s veterans have served - and continue to serve - with
dedication and honor, all around the world. Their sense of duty to a cause
so much larger than their individual selves is a true testament to their
integrity and honor. We owe each of them a debt of gratitude for their
willingness to respond to extreme demands with such extraordinary courage,

With a long history of supporting the United States military, we currently
have 14 active duty students, 28 veteran students and 117 Military
dependent students. We also employ 7 faculty and 14 staff veterans. I am
proud that our campus remains committed to ensuring that our military
students have the resources they need to reach their educational, personal,
and professional goals.

On this day, and every day, we thank them for protecting our rights and
freedom as Americans.

Please take a moment to pause and reflect upon what this day is truly
about. To appreciate all who have dedicated their lives in service. And to
express genuine thanks to them, and to those who love and support them.

With appreciation and respect,

Alexander Enyedi

President
