Greetings everyone!
On behalf of the Veterans Support Center here at the University of Utah, Happy Veterans Day! I hope everyone had an amazing day and enjoyed all of our Veterans Week events including the Veterans Week events. It is always humbling to take a moment to honor all of our veterans and their families, as well as those currently serving, and to say thank you for your service and sacrifice.
In this month dedicated to celebrating our veterans, we are focused on supporting our students and reaching out to our community to rally around our Veterans Support Center's Giving Day. We are currently raising funds on campus and within our communities to help provide critical resources for our military-connected students. Your donations go directly to creating more scholarships, funding our programs and events, and providing emergency grants for students in need.
Our program's success is driven by the support of our university and, most importantly, by the generosity of our community. With your help, we can continue to offer these vital resources to over 1,700 military-connected students.
If you would like to donate, please visit our donation page: Support Our Military Connected Students. This year, Utah Alumnus and US Army Veterans Oliver Tsuya and Billi Stephen, founders of the Tsuya-Stephens Endowed Veterans Scholarship which supports enlisted service members in their pursuit of higher education, have announced they will match up to $5,000, doubling your impact to our students.
Thank you all for standing with us and supporting those who have served.
Warm regards, Faamai Taupau, Director, Veterans Support Center
