We are honoring veterans across our campuses this Veterans Day!

🎁 Student veterans from any campus are invited to stop by the Oak Ridge Campus on Wednesday, Nov 11, 11am-1pm ET, for a thank-you package in the Coffey/McNally Atrium.

🇺🇸 Veteran WAVE flags are also on display at select campuses throughout the week. Be sure to check out the main display at our Roane County Campus.

🌲 Students at the Campbell County Campus can visit the student lounge this week to honor a veteran or first responder by decorating an ornament for the Tree of Honor.

📖 And at the Fentress County Higher Education Center, families are invited to a special storytime for preschoolers on Nov 11, 10:30-11:30am CT, featuring a story, snack, and hands-on activity celebrating our flag and veterans.

Thank you to all who have served and special thanks to the student veterans who we are so proud to have as part of our Roane State community! ❤️🤍💙
