OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (November 13, 2023) –
Oklahoma City Community College celebrated veterans on Nov. 9 with a recognition ceremony and luncheon and offered a education and resource fair to members of the military.
More than 75 attended the veterans’ program, which featured TV Automotive Professor Bradley Walker as Master of Ceremonies and U.S. Army Staff Sargeant Joshua Johnson as the keynote speaker.
“Oklahoma City Community College values the contributions of our veterans,” said TV President Dr. Mautra Staley Jones. “We proudly support those that serve our country, and we are honored that so many members of our nation’s armed forces have chosen TV for their education.”
Additionally, TV partnered with the University of Oklahoma to host the inaugural Veterans Education and Resource Fair, an event making education and other resources more easily accessible for members of the military. Veterans, active-duty military, reservists, guardsmen, spouses and their children were invited to visit with more than 20 educational institutions, including two- and four-year colleges and universities, technical schools and multiple organizations dedicated to serving members of the military.
“TV was excited to partner with The University of Oklahoma Office of Admissions and Recruitment and host the inaugural Veterans Education and Resource Fair on our campus,” said Dr. Jason Johnson, TV vice president for student affairs. “TV has maintained a long-standing commitment to serving members of our nation’s military.”
