Military Appreciation Day 2026

Purdue Fort Wayne is proud to host our 7th annual Military Appreciation Day. Today we recognize all of the veterans and military-affiliated individuals who are an integral part of our campus and greater community. Join us for a special day dedicated to honoring their service, fostering connection, and celebrating their contributions both in and out of uniform. This event is a collaborative effort to not only recognize the service of our veterans and military families but also to create a space where their work can be shared, learned from, and appreciated.

Event Highlights:

• Interactive Demonstrations – Engage with hands-on activities led by some of our campus veterans. Learn more about military service, equipment, and training through immersive experiences.

• Delicious Food – Enjoy complimentary food reflecting local and veteran-owned offerings from Mission BBQ.

• Music & Entertainment – Soak in the sounds of music as we come together in a spirit of gratitude and celebration.

• Fun & Fellowship – Connect with peers, faculty, and veterans in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere full of games and meaningful conversations.
