满帆 Recognizes Student Veterans with Two 校园 事件
满帆 celebrated veteran and military-connected students with a 5K and Thanksgiving dinner.
今年11月, 满帆大学 hosted two special events on campus to recognize and celebrate veteran and military-connected students and their families.
11月3日, 满帆's 军事 Student Success Center hosted the second annual Run, 变皱, 或步行5公里. This event began and ended in front of the 满帆 Live venue. More than 70 registrants among 满帆 faculty, staff, and students took part. All finishers received a military dog tag, and medals were presented to the top three finishers in the run, 走, 和岩石分类. Refreshments were provided to participants after the race.

“We have a sprawling campus, and it’s not only a good place to get physical activity, but it also exposes students to places they’ve never really seen on campus,亚伦·霍尔说, Director of 军事 Student Success at 满帆, as to why his team started this event last year. “[Plus], people can participate by 走ing, running, or rucking… whatever they’re comfortable doing. It offers an option for everyone.”

Another event was the Student Veteran Thanksgiving Dinner. Open to all military-connected 满帆 students and their families, the event took place on the evening of Tuesday, November 14 in the 满帆 Live venue.
“Many of our students aren’t from Florida, so they are away from their families on Thanksgiving,” Aaron said of the inspiration behind this gathering.

Now in its 13th year, the dinner welcomed more than 100 student veterans and their families. Food was provided by MISSION BBQ. 弗农雨水, 满帆’s Chief of Staff and an Army veteran, spoke to the attendees about why he is thankful for his military service. The gathering also offered raffle prizes and a sing-off of each branch’s song.

根据Aaron的说法, 满帆 currently has about 3,700 military-connected students enrolled, many of whom are veterans.

“对我来说, it’s a [time] when we honor our vets and those currently serving,亚伦说, an Air Force veteran himself. “I really appreciate them for what they have done, especially considering we’re in an all-volunteer force.”
