Minneapolis College is committed to continuously improving understanding and support for student Veterans in higher education and promoting awareness of the needs of military service members, Veterans, and their families before, during and after deployment and transition from military service.

​Due to the impending inclement weather today, Nov. 9, we decided to move our Veterans Day Recognition Event program indoors. Please join us at 12:00 p.m. in H.1002 for a brief program, followed by an open house of the Veterans Welcome Center, T.3406.

To learn more and to reflect on the meaning of Veterans Day, you may wish to visit and/or share with students/employees some or all the following perspectives and resources:

Consider inviting students (or employees) to reflect on the following 3 questions:

  • Summarize your findings from some or all the sources above (or other sources).
  • What did you learn that you found surprising or interesting?
  • How might you support and critically reflect on the day?

The Minneapolis College Yellow Ribbon Steering Committee, along with off campus community partners support Veterans through a variety of resources and services:
