Cal State Fullerton’s Veterans Resource Center and the Student Veterans Association host VetWeek 2016, a weeklong series of events to pay tribute to student and community veterans.
According to the resource center, 508 students have self-identified as veterans.
“VetWeek is an opportunity for the Titan family to honor the contributions and sacrifice student veterans have made in their service to our country,” said Lui Amador, director of the Veterans Resource Center. “It’s also my hope that the campus takes this opportunity to remember and reflect on the service of all veterans and current members of the military.”
