Randolph Community College’s United Warriors Club is planning a Veterans
Day celebration on Monday, Nov. 11, from 11 a.m.-12 noon in the R.
Alton Cox Learning Resources Center auditorium on the Asheboro Campus.
The public is invited.
The United Warriors Club, a student organization,
provides a network of support to military veterans, their families, and
civilian supporters. The goals of the group include educating the
college community about the experiences of military veterans and working
with college administration to meet the needs of student veterans;
promoting academic support, fellowship, and community volunteer
opportunities; addressing student veterans concerns through meetings,
advocacy, social and recreational activities; and providing a sense of
camaraderie among student veterans and promoting an understanding of
student veterans issues.
The ceremony will open
with remarks from Dr. James W. Kelley, vice president of student
services, the posting of the colors by the JROTC (Junior Reserve
Officers Training Corps), and the singing of the National Anthem. Mark
Strider, instructor of Global Logistics, will introduce guest speaker
Tony Richardson of the Asheboro Police Department. The Armed Forces
Medley will be played with veterans standing during their respective
branch songs. RCC President Robert S. Shackleford will provide closing
remarks. Light refreshments will be served afterwards.
The Asheboro Campus is at 629 Industrial Park Avenue. Take the McDowell
Road exit from Highway 220 Bypass/I-73/I-74 and follow the signs.
