UC San Diego Veterans Staff Association Veterans Recognition Ceremony
I am pleased to announce the 23rd Annual UC San Diego Veterans Staff Association Veteran Recognition Ceremony to honor our veterans and members of the Armed Forces. The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 8, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 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 “Quiet Heroes: Veterans Who Make a Difference in Our Community.”
Our UC San Diego Veteran of the Year, Carlos Martinez, and Student Veteran of the Year, Hillary Gnirk, will be honored and thanked for their service, and each veteran and military service member in attendance will be recognized.
To support the recognition of veterans and members of the Armed Forces on campus, I am approving 90 minutes of administrative leave with pay to attend this event. 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.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP by Friday, Nov. 4.
The event is wheelchair accessible. To request reasonable accommodations, such as American Sign Language interpretation, to facilitate your participation at the event, please contact Joanna Boval at jboval@ucsd.edu by Friday, Nov. 4.
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.
