November 2022

Greetings, from the VRC!

Hello, everybody! My name is Diego Rodriguez and I am in my senior year at

Cal State LA. I will be graduating this fall with a degree in business administration with a focus on supply chain management.

I'm also a veteran and a student worker at the Veterans Resource Center (VRC) where I help veterans and dependents of veterans understand their educational benefits.

Currently, we are looking forward to one of our biggest events, the annual Veterans Day Ceremony on November 10 from

12:15 – 1 p.m. at the U-SU Plaza. The guest speakers are veterans who are part of the Cal State LA community.

I'll be there and I hope to see you there too!
