Dear UA community,

Today, The University of Akron takes time to honor and express our thanks for the service of veterans and active-duty military members. Veterans Day is a holiday of gratitude, but our appreciation extends throughout the year. As we thank past and present armed services personnel, both those affiliated with UA and all others who play the crucial role in keeping us secure, we also thank those throughout our community who support our veterans' personal and professional endeavors.

The University of Akron is an educational and welcoming environment where student veterans, faculty and staff veterans, and all who have served in this selfless capacity can thrive.

As we respect and extend public thanks to our veterans this November 11, I encourage you to join me in collective gratitude for all U.S. veterans and their regional, national and international service.

Sincerely,

RJNemer signature
