Dear Seattle University Community,
Seattle University will close on Tuesday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day. This is a time to honor and express our deep gratitude to all who have served and continue to serve in the United States Armed Forces. We are especially grateful to the veterans, active-duty service members, and military-connected families within our own Seattle University community—our students, alumni, faculty, and staff. Their commitment to service exemplifies the Jesuit values at the heart of our mission and we thank them for their sacrifice and dedication to the common good.
As we pause to reflect on the significance of this day, let us continue to support and accompany veterans and their families, both on our campus and in the broader community.
Respectfully,
Eduardo M. Peñalver
President
