ALL ACADEMICS, STAFF, AND STUDENTS AT UC SAN DIEGO

SUBJECT:    UC San Diego Veterans Staff Association Veterans’ Recognition

Ceremony I am pleased to announce the 19th Annual UC San Diego Veterans Staff Association Veterans Recognition Ceremony to honor our veterans and members of the Armed Forces. The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, November 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in UC San Diego’s Supercomputer Center Auditorium. The event is open to the public and light refreshments will be served immediately following the celebration. The theme of this year’s ceremony is, “Honoring Women who Served in the Armed Forces.”

This year, Armando Escobedo, a UC San Diego staff member, and Mathew
White, a UC San Diego graduate student, will be recognized as our Veterans of the
Year, and they will be honored and thanked for their service. Also, each
veteran and military service member in attendance will be recognized.

If you plan to attend the event, please RSVP by Friday, October 26, at:

To support the recognition of veterans and members of the Armed Forces
on campus, I am approving 90 minutes of administrative leave with pay. I
ask supervisors to allow employees to attend as long as the absence does
not infringe upon the performance of required duties or patient care.

For general information or to request an accommodation, contact Joanna
Boval, VSA Chair, by October 26, via 858.534.7685 or jboval@ucsd.edu. This event is wheelchair accessible.

Join your colleagues as UC San Diego celebrates the contributions of the
outstanding Veterans, active military, retired military, reservists, and military
affiliates who add so much value to our campus community.
