SVC Whidbey campus to honor veterans

In honor of Veterans’ Day 2016, Skagit Valley College’s Mount Vernon and Whidbey Island campuses will team up to honor those who serve and those who have served.

The Whidbey Campus will construct a special exhibit in recognition of veterans. The Veterans’ Wall will be on view in Oak Hall from Nov. 7-14.

At the Mount Vernon Campus, the Veterans Club will host a free BBQ on 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19 at Gary Tollefson Plaza.

SVC’s Veterans’ Club helps to provide veterans with resources, support and advocacy they need to succeed.

“Skagit Valley College would like to recognize the many faculty, staff and students who have served in the military and the numerous contributions they make to our College and throughout our communities,” said Dr. Dave Paul, vice president for Student Services.

“Our veterans and their families are central to our College: they are our colleagues, our students, and our leaders. We truly thank them for their service.”
