Honoring Our Veterans

Dear Seattle University Community,

As Seattle University closes Wednesday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day, we join in honoring and thanking those who have served and continue to serve in the armed forces. We are especially proud of our veteran and military-connected students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Through their leadership, sense of purpose, and commitment to service, they strengthen our classrooms, our campus culture, and our mission, deepening our understanding of sacrifice, citizenship, and the common good. At the same time, we recognize the families, loved ones, and caregivers who stand alongside our military-connected community members and make their own sacrifices.

We also express our gratitude to the Seattle University Veteran and Military Student Center and its dedicated staff, whose work helps foster among our veteran and military-connected students a sense of belonging and connection.

Finally, we remind and invite you to attend the two events taking place today:

• Seattle University's Veterans Day Celebration
  11:30 a.m.–1 p.m. in Student Center 160
  
  
• Faith and Fear: America at War | A Conversation with Gregory Daddis
  5:30 p.m. at Wyckoff Auditorium (Bannan 244)

This Veterans Day and every day, let us give thanks to our veterans for their selfless and dedicated service to our country and honor the many ways they advance our mission through their leadership, resilience, and commitment to the common good.

Sincerely,

Maura B. Mast, PhD
President
