UC Clermont College’s Veterans Day celebration featured a Black Hawk helicopter flown in by the 1-137th Ohio Army National Guard from Columbus.
 
The helicopter landed on the front lawn of the campus commons and served as a back drop for the ceremony honoring veterans.

Assistant professor and Navy veteran Dr. Jill Gomez spoke about her experience in the military shaping her career path. She also expressed her appreciation for her alma mater – UC Clermont College – in supporting her upon her return home as she earned her degrees.  
 
Dean Jeff Bauer shared his experience of being born into a military family and living around the world. His father – retired USAF Major George R. Bauer, served from 1965-1986 – shaped his experience and views on leadership.
