In recognition of Veterans Day, students at Mount Saint Mary College gathered to create handcrafted greeting cards expressing gratitude to local service members and veterans.
Organized through Student Activities, the card-making event took place in the Hudson Hall Glass Lounge. The initiative provided students, faculty, and staff an opportunity to drop in between classes to design heartfelt messages and creative cards. Armed with colored markers, construction paper, stickers, and scissors, participating students crafted patriotic designs featuring handwritten notes such as “Thank You for Your Service” and “You Are a Hero.”
All finished cards will be distributed to veterans across Orange County and the surrounding Hudson Valley region ahead of Veterans Day.
The card-making drive reflects Mount Saint Mary College’s ongoing commitment to community engagement and service-learning, which are central tenets of its Dominican heritage.
