Thursday, November 14, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. 
Virtual Event via Zoom

Dear UMass President’s Office Colleagues,  

On Thursday, November 14 at noon, the DEIA Team will host a Zoom only event in honor of Veterans Day. Participants will hear welcoming comments from President Meehan and then watch a brief video about the history of Veterans Day. After that, four UMass President’s Office employees will share their experience as a veteran or as the family member of a veteran (or in some cases both). Your colleagues who have volunteered to serve on the panel include:

  1. Sam Burling from Internal Audit will share his experience as a veteran of the United States Army.
  2. John Dawson from UITS will share his experience as a veteran of the United States Air Force and as the father of an active member of the Air Force.
  3. Jacquie Kittler from Human Resources will share her experience as the daughter of a veteran of the United States Marines.
  4. Brian Girard from UPST will share his experience as the step-father of an active member of the United States Navy.

Please join your colleagues as we set aside this hour to honor the service and sacrifices of the members of the United States Military and their families.
