The university hosted its 15th annual Veterans Day Breakfast to recognize veterans’ military service and its long-lasting contributions. For RIT, bonding over breakfast was their way to say thank you for your service. “That is something that is very impactful and meaningful. Having a husband who served for 30 years, whenever anyone says that to him, it just makes you feel good, makes you feel appreciated and that’s something we should all be doing,” said Vanessa Herman, vice president for government and community relations, at RIT. The event also featured a special announcement about plans for a veterans memorial in Henrietta, and architectural designs for the memorial, created by RIT students, were on display.
