It’s been a challenging year for Arizona State University’s students, including our military and veteran community members. Through masking, social distancing and vaccination efforts, the COVID-19 situation in Arizona has been improving. That being said, it is still being closely monitored and cautionary measures continue to be necessary. 

In light of this, the Pat Tillman Veterans Center and ASU Alumni Association would still like to recognize graduating student veterans for their military service and academic accomplishments. The virtual Veterans Honor Stole Ceremony will be held on May 1 at 2 p.m. with the ceremony starting at 2:30 p.m. In addition to this virtual event, there will be a drive-thru ceremony, giving graduates an opportunity to pick up their veteran stole on May 1 from 9 to 11 a.m. 

To register for the virtual Veteran Honor Stole Ceremony, log in to My ASU and click on the graduation tab in My Programs. Click on the maroon RSVP for ceremonies button, and look for Special Interest Ceremonies. From there, click through to the Veterans Honor Stole Ceremony and complete your registration.

To register for the drive-thru ceremony, fill out this Google form. Graduates of the class of 2020 (spring, summer and fall) who weren’t able to receive their veteran stoles are welcome to attend the drive-thru event as well.
