Resource Center (VRC) has a week of events lined up to show their love to those who
have honorably defended our nation.
“It allows our campus to be part of a national movement to ensure that our veterans know their service to their country will never be forgotten,” said Jazmin Vargas, the VRC Program Coordinator .
The events begin Tuesday at 10am with an appreciation breakfast and go through Friday.
On Thursday, a birthday party for the Marine Corps 244th year happens at 12:30pm in the VRC lounge in building 9E.
