Military Appreciation Month is a month-long celebration to provide further visibility, support, and recognition to our military and veterans. Events are planned throughout campus during November to show appreciation for the men and women who have served and are serving this great nation. A few of this year’s events include the Military Appreciation Football Game, the Veterans Appreciation Reception, an American Red Cross Blood Drive, Military Convocation, the Valley View Mike Donahue 5 Miler, and more.
