AUM to salute Warhawk veterans with a week of festivities
Auburn University at Montgomery will celebrate its military community during Veterans Week, Nov. 9-13, recognizing the university’s long-standing commitment to those who have served our country.
Organized by AUM’s Veteran & Military Resource Center (VMRC) and the Student Veterans Association, Veterans Week will feature a variety of activities for students, faculty and staff, including a Marine Corps birthday cake celebration, painting, games and training opportunities.
The week also offers an opportunity to highlight the new home of the VRMC and Army ROTC in AUM’s Library Tower. Both offices are now located in Library Tower 708, providing a dedicated space to better serve AUM’s military community.
Veterans Week will conclude with Breakfast of the Brave, a campus tradition featuring a slideshow recognizing AUM’s military-affiliated faculty and staff members and their loved ones. The day will also include Green Zone Training for faculty and staff.
