Augusta University hosts Veterans Day celebration

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Augusta University held a Veterans Day celebration to honor veterans in the community.

Veterans from across Augusta, including those taking classes at AU, networked and connected with students.

The event included a “donning of the pin” ceremony, a tribute to the service and sacrifice of military-connected students, staff and neighbors.

Lakisha Dinkins, interim director of Military and Veteran Services, said, “Well, I hope, at minimum, that they see the appreciation and that we wholeheartedly appreciate and value their presence and their service.”

AU said it looks forward to partnering with more groups that support local veterans in the future.
