Media Advisory: Inaugural Veterans Day Breakfast to Spotlight RIT Patriots
Students, faculty and staff veterans join in community celebration tomorrow
RIT hosts Veteran's Day Celebration on November 11th
On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, RIT hosts its inaugural Veterans Day Recognition and Celebration. The breakfast event, scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. in the Gordon Field House and Activities Center, pays tribute to members of the campus community with a history of service to our country’s armed forces.
RIT boasts a long history of accommodating the educational needs of returning veterans, dating back to the end of World War II. Creating an annual on-campus event to accompany the national observance of Veterans Day is another way to acknowledge these veterans, as well as active duty service members, reservists and military family members affiliated with RIT.
“We do not take our freedoms in America for granted, and it is those among us who wear the uniform of the military that protect these freedoms at home and around the world,” states Barry Culhane, executive assistant to RIT President Bill Destler and event chairman. “For that, we are deeply grateful.”
