In recognition of Veterans Day, Sinclair Community College will be closed on Nov. 11. However, Sinclair will still host events during the week to honor those who have served.
On Nov. 12, Sinclair will host a veterans relay route in which participants can walk or run around campus while holding a flag. Booths and flags will also be placed around campus. At noon, Sinclair Talks will host a session in honor of Veterans day called “SERV: An overview of student veteran experiences and challenges, as well as information about resources available on campus.”
On Nov. 13, “The Invisible War” movie will be played from noon to 2:30 p.m., also as part of a Sinclair Talks session. The movie will cover topics based on military sexual trauma. It will be played in Building 2, Room 334.
On Nov. 14, Sinclair will host a veteran and military family career and resume building workshop from 11 a.m. until noon in Building 2, Room 334.
On Nov. 15, Sinclair Talks will present a movie called “The Welcome.”
According to the Sinclair Talks website, the movie is about “how communities can welcome warriors home.”
“It’s a nice show of support and no matter when the veteran shows up to campus that day, (Nov. 12) they will find a flag or something that says ‘hey, we know and recognize you,’” Sally Caspers, Veterans Affairs coordinator said.
