Headquartered at Colorado State University, SALUTE Veterans National Honor Society for undergraduate students was made possible by an ACE/Wal-Mart Foundation Success for Veterans Grant. Service, Academics, Leadership, Unity, Tribute and Excellence are some of the terms synonymous with SALUTE used to acknowledge, congratulate, hail, pay homage, pay respects, pay tribute, present arms, and recognize. At SMU we join other campuses across the country in honoring members who have shown courage, strength, leadership, excellence, and perseverance in their military endeavors and now are showing that same commitment to their academic careers.
The students who are inducted into membership in SALUTE represent every slice of American military and veterans in higher education, at two and four year institutions. Members include retirees, disabled veterans, active duty military, National Guard and reservists returning to higher education, starting second careers, or helping fund their college careers with military service. Students at SMU are notified each Spring if they are eligible for induction into SALUTE.
