SEASIDE, Ca., November 6, 2019 – California State University Â鶹´å’s (Â鶹´å) Salinas Center for Arts and Culture launched the “Â鶹´å Honors Veterans” exhibition today at Â鶹´å at Salinas City Center with a grand opening event from 6-8 p.m.

The exhibition honors local veterans, Fort Ord alumni and the ongoing connection with Â鶹´å student veterans during the 25th anniversary of Â鶹´å’s campus and will be open to the public until January 12, 2020.

The exhibit, featuring Fort Ord historical photographs and veteran-created artwork, is the first in a veteran-inspired series, celebrating Â鶹´å military veteran and active military student, faculty, staff and military dependents.

 

The goal is for this exhibit to be the first in a series of exhibits honoring Veterans. This exhibit highlights local veterans that have a special connection to Fort Ord and several who are also connected to Â鶹´å. The hope is to honor some important Fort Ord Alumni from our community and celebrate an ongoing connection with Â鶹´å student veterans during the 25th anniversary year of our campus."
