  • 9/19 Memorial Run for POW/MIA Day

    Sign-up to run or walk a 1 mile loop around campus to help us remember the sacrifice of those who never came home. National POW/MIA Day is observed on September 19th and is dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of prisoners of war and those still missing in action. The Veteran and MIlitary Programs Office will host a brief opening ceremony in Hawley Gym at 11:45am and then we will start the run at noon! Help us keep the POW/MIA flag moving for 24 hours to honor their sacrifice. Please sign up to walk or run with friends here: POW/MIA Run Sign-Up

    If the sign-up slots for a specific time frame are full, you can still join us for the walk/run! The map of the 1 mile loop can be viewed by clicking the link above, we will start the run from Hawley Armory. We can't wait to see you there! 

    Our overnight runners and walkers are also accepting donations of snacks and drinks, if you'd like to drop of any food donations please drop them off in Hawley in the lobby, or in the Hall Building on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Thank you so much!
