    Veteran Services is pleased to honor our graduating U. S. military veterans, service members, commissioning cadets, and dependents. From the list of those who applied for graduation and registered for the event, UH military graduates and cadets will receive a stole, and dependents will receive a patriot cord to wear during the commencement ceremonies. These items show appreciation for protecting our nation, completing the academic journey, and providing family support. Graduates must attend the ceremony to receive the gift. We encourage you to invite family and friends.
