SEASIDE, Ca., November 6, 2019 – California State University Monterey Bay’s (ºÚÁÏÉçapp) Salinas Center for Arts and Culture launched the “ºÚÁÏÉçapp Honors Veterans” exhibition today at ºÚÁÏÉçapp 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 ºÚÁÏÉçapp student veterans during the 25th anniversary of ºÚÁÏÉçapp’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 ºÚÁÏÉçapp 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 ºÚÁÏÉçapp. The hope is to honor some important Fort Ord Alumni from our community and celebrate an ongoing connection with ºÚÁÏÉçapp student veterans during the 25th anniversary year of our campus."
