Operation New Uniform Graduation is an informal morning where our ONU veterans share their experiences from the program. Our guests, often successfully transitioned veterans and professionals committed to the success of veterans, join our ONU graduates as they discuss the experiences they have had, challenges they have overcome, and what they are doing now.

This is a great opportunity to connect with others in the community as well as see if graduates would be a good fit for any opportunities available in your company.
