Veterans from across Augusta gathered with Augusta University students on Nov. 11 for a celebration recognizing military-connected people in the campus community and beyond.
The event included a “donning of the pin” ceremony honoring military-connected students, staff and neighbors for their service and sacrifice. Veterans, including people taking classes at AU, also had an opportunity to connect and network with students.
Lakisha Dinkins, the university’s interim director of Military and Veteran Services, said she hoped attendees would see the university’s appreciation and know their presence and service are valued. Augusta University said it hopes to partner with more groups supporting local veterans.
