Marywood University’s Office of Military and Veteran Services recently held its annual SALUTE (Service, Academics, Leadership, Unity, Tribute, and Excellence) veterans’ honor society induction ceremony. Fourteen student veterans from Marywood and one student veteran from Lackawanna College were inducted into the honor society.

During the ceremony, each graduate received a certificate; a challenge coin (given to military members to commemorate achievements); and red, white, and blue honor cords to wear at commencement.
