LFCC celebrating Veterans all week
LFCC is proud to celebrate its student veterans – as well as other area veterans – Nov. 8-12 in honor of Veterans Day on Nov. 11.
The various activities and commemorations include sharing pictures of veterans on social media and on campus, providing opportunities to share messages with vets, offering lunches to our student veterans and a Veterans Day Zoom celebration on Nov. 11. To see the full slate of activities and learn how you can participate, visit www.lfcc.edu/veteransweek.
On Thursday, Nov. 11, the college will host a Veterans Day Zoom celebration. LFCC Police Sgt. Brian Higgins and Anatomy and Physiology Professor Jerome “Butch” Austin will be among the speakers.
“It is with great pride that LFCC honors our student veterans,” said veteran academic advisor/certifying official Sharon Painter. “I personally enjoy collecting veteran’s service photos for our Faces of LFCC Veterans slideshow. As their advisor, I know their academic stories, but Veterans Week allows me to know more about their service.”
For the past 11 years, LFCC has been named a Military Friendly® School. The distinction was determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council, using survey responses and publicly-available data.
There are dedicated veterans centers on both the Middletown and Fauquier campuses where students are able to meet with academic advisors/school certifying officials, use free printing services, have coffee and meet with fellow vets.
As a Virginia Values Veterans (V3) partner, Lord Fairfax has received education and training in the best practices of recruiting, hiring and retaining employee veterans.
