Honoring our veterans

University Veterans Services proudly commemorated Veterans Day with a week of events celebrating our campus military community. The observance began at the Salute to Service football game, where the University of Minnesota Student Veterans Association (SVAM) hosted a tailgate before being recognized on the field alongside President Cunningham.

The celebration continued with the 16th Annual Veterans Appreciation Event—an opportunity for the University to honor and thank the veteran and military-connected members of our campus community for their service and contributions—and concluded with the installation of a Field of Flags on the Coffman Memorial Union lawn for Veterans Day. Featuring 524 American flags—one for each student veteran on the Twin Cities campus—this powerful display served as a visible reminder of the dedication, service, and sacrifice of our veterans and their families.
