Annual Veterans Day Dinner with the Dean of the Law School

Thirty five of AFA’s members who are either veterans or are still serving gathered at Henrietta’s Table to celebrate Veterans Day. The Dean of Harvard Law School John Manning and Dean of Students Marcia Sells hosted the dinner, which is organized annually by the Dean of Students Office. Dean Manning thanked the attendees for their service and spoke about the importance of Harvard Law’s veteran community. Throughout the night, students got up to share “So there I was…” stories about their funniest, most memorable moments in the military. To the cap off the dinner, AFA’s leadership thanked Dean Manning and Dean Sells for their support and presented them with AFA’s challenge coin.
