Message From President Holmes
Dear Veteran Graduates,
On behalf of De Anza College, I am proud to honor and celebrate our veteran students who are graduating this year.
Each year, hundreds of military veterans choose De Anza College to pursue academic goals that will set the stage for the next chapters in their lives. You come from a wide range of backgrounds and served in a variety of military assignments, both in the United States and around the world. We are grateful for your service, honored to have you join our student body, and deeply proud when you graduate.
We know that attending college requires hard work, persistence and determination. For many veterans, the transition to civilian life can be challenging as you navigate the territory of higher education. At De Anza, we do our best to support our veteran students on this journey, and we are proud to see you succeed.
This year, the pandemic caused illness and loss of life for many, and hardships for all. You were required to study online and communicate from a distance with your instructors, counselors and classmates. For our veteran students who are graduating this year, your achievements are all the more remarkable because of the extra hurdles you have overcome.
Congratulations, and my very best wishes for your continued success.
With appreciation,
Lloyd A. Holmes
President, De Anza College
