Dear campus community,
Veterans Day is a holiday of gratitude. As an institution, The University of Akron takes this time to honor and express our appreciation for veterans and active-duty military members. As we thank past and present armed services personnel, both those affiliated with UA and all others who play the vital role in keeping us secure, we also thank those throughout our community who support our veterans' personal and professional endeavors.
The University of Akron is an educational home where people from all types of backgrounds thrive. I am grateful that we have created a welcoming environment for student veterans, faculty and staff veterans, and all who have served in this capacity.
As we honor and revere our veterans on Monday, Nov. 11, I encourage you to join me in collective gratitude. Thank you to all U.S. veterans for their dedication to regional, national and international service.
Sincerely,
R.J. Nemer
President
The University of Akron
