The Auburn Hills campus of Thomas M. Cooley Law School will hold a Veterans Day ceremony on Wednesday, November 11 at 5:00 p.m. The program, sponsored by the new student organization Cooley Students for Veterans, will be held at 2630 Featherstone Road, Room 145, Auburn Hills. Light refreshments will be served.
Scheduled speakers are Wayne Smith, UAW Local 412 Veteran's Committee Chairman; Mike Schloff, Oakland County Bar Association Veteran's Committee Chair and a former President of the OCBA; Capt. Tom "The Adjutant" Mengesha, US Army, author of The Service Members Guide to Deployment; and Lt. Col. Rodney Williams, Human Relations Manager for the Michigan National Guard. Other participants include Cooley Professor James Carey, who will play the bagpipes during the ceremony.
Cooley Students for Veterans includes veterans, those who are interested in serving in a professional capacity following law school (particularly in the JAG corps), and those who want to support our service members. In addition to many other activities, Cooley Students for Veterans plans to help students support and work with Cooley's Service to Soldiers: Legal Assistance Referral Program, which provides free legal counsel to military personnel throughout Michigan.
