ANNOUNCEMENTS
VETERANS AWARENESS WEEK THANK YOU
Whew, Veterans Awareness Week was a lot of work and a lot of fun. We received so much support and are grateful to the KU community and community organizations that selflessly provided products, services, monetary and physical support or just gave a high five. Some highlights: We reached our emergency fund goal, exceeded expectations on the donation drive, recognized some amazing people for their service and academic excellence, the list can go on and on. Stay tuned for more updates throughout this month. Again, many thanks for helping us make this a great week every year.
