Upcoming events hosted across UW campuses to celebrate and honor the veteran student community.

By Mya Leo

On Nov. 21, UW Seattle will be hosting its 11th annual Salute to Service tailgate as one of many events held throughout the month to celebrate veteran and military-affiliated students.

The event will be held at the Waterfront Activities Center across from the Husky Stadium on the UW Seattle campus. As a tri-campus event, students from UW Tacoma and UW Bothell are eligible to register for the tailgating event and for free ticketed entry into the following UW versus Indiana game. Transportation will be provided to and from UW Tacoma and Husky Stadium. The time for transportation and the start of the Salute to Service Tailgate will be based on the kick-off time for the UW versus Indiana game which is currently to be determined.

Tickets for the game will be provided while supplies last with a waitlist option. Current UW Tacoma students, alumni and community members can register for tickets here. Registered attendees are given one free guest ticket and may request additional guest tickets or purchase them here. If tickets run out there will be a livestream of the game at the tailgating event site. For more information and event registration, students can check Dubnet or go to UW Seattle’s Student Veteran Life event’s page.

UW Tacoma students who are interested in the event or who would otherwise like to get involved with veteran organizations on campus, can attend the Officer and Member Recruitment Meeting for the Student Veteran Organization. This event will be held on Nov. 19from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at the Veterans and Military Resource Center (VMRC) within the Tioga Library. More information about this event can be found on Dubnet.
