SEASIDE, Ca., November 6, 2019 – California State University Monterey Bay’s (ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog) Salinas Center for Arts and Culture launched the “ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog Honors Veterans” exhibition today at ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog 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 ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog student veterans during the 25th anniversary of ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog’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 ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog 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 ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog. The hope is to honor some important Fort Ord Alumni from our community and celebrate an ongoing connection with ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog student veterans during the 25th anniversary year of our campus."— ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog veteran services coordinator, Giselle Young
The exhibition is a collaborative effort between ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog student veterans service coordinator Giselle Young, ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog alumna Ana Eckhart, ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog Service Learning associate director Andrea Monroe and ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog’s director for the ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog Center for Arts and Culture, Enid Ryce.
