Refreshments will be served. Please R.S.V.P by May 21 to Shawn Peterson, speterson@uwb.edu or at 425-352-3869.
The Veterans Archway has been organized and planned by the UW Bothell Student Veterans Association. It will be located at the northeast corner of the new sports complex with access to the North Creek regional trail.
The Veterans Archway is anticipated to cost just under $70,000. A gift to the university and community by generous contributors, the project will be 100 percent funded by donations, and no state or university money will be used. To date, the students have raised about $59,000 toward construction of the project.
"This space is a tangible gift that we can give to student veterans to say that they are appreciated and acknowledge their transition from active duty to student life, it is something permanent that we feel our student veterans have earned." – Ben Wiselogle ’12, Co-Chair UW Bothell Veterans Archway Committee.
