News & Events

On November 8 and 9, Baldwin Wallace University will be hosting its third annual Veterans Day Celebration. What began as a small breakfast and career program three years ago has quickly developed into a two-day celebration of students, faculty, staff and other members of the BW Community who have served our country.

Enrolling more than 100 veterans in undergraduate and graduate programs, BW has been recognized for the exceptional programs and services provided for veteran students both returning from active duty and those already immersed in civilian life.
