Veterans Day

SC State honors those who serve

Given South Carolina State University’s strong history of providing officers to our nation’s armed forces, it is only fitting that we reserve a day each year to remember those who have served.
 
Each November in timing with the federal Veterans Day holiday, the university sets aside a day to thank our veterans for their sacrifices in maintaining the security of all Americans. The annual Veterans Appreciation Program features a distinguished speaker from the military's ranks -- often an SC State alumnus -- who provides perspective about service to current SC State Bulldog Battalion Army ROTC cadets and others in attendance.
