Dedication of New Designated Purple Heart Parking Spaces

At 10:45 a.m. in the Multipurpose Room (F‐117) there will be a power point presentation on the Guardians of the Purple Heart and the parking spaces. The presentation follows a breakfast for the veteran community of Three Rivers that begins at 9:30 a.m. Immediately following the presentation, the group will walk to the main entrance parking lot where the spaces will be dedicated and unveiled.

The spaces will be reserved parking for students, faculty, and staff who have been awarded the Purple Heart. Signage for the spaces was donated by The Guardians of the Purple Heart, a local non-profit that assists Purple Heart recipients in the state of Connecticut. Several board members of the Guardians of the Purple Heart are also current Three Rivers students. Veterans make up eight percent of the Three Rivers student population, and Three Rivers recently became an officially associated chapter of the Veteran Students of America.

The event is sponsored by Student Programs, the Veterans OASIS, and the Veterans club.
