Celebrate Our Military-Connected Student Community

Join us as we honor the dedication, resilience and academic success of our entire military-connected student community. The Military-Connected Student Awards and Veteran Honor Cord Ceremony is a meaningful year-end tradition that recognizes:

  • All military-connected (MCS) students at Dallas College
  • Military-connected students who have applied for graduation
  • Military-connected students who will complete no more than nine credit hours by May 2026

While graduating and near-graduation students will be formally recognized, all MCS students are invited to attend, support their peers, and celebrate the strength and shared experiences of our community.
We also welcome veteran employees and specially invited guests who support our MCS students.

Please RSVP by Wednesday, April 22
