A Message from Palo Alto University President Maureen O'Connor

Today, on Veterans Day, we want to honor all PAU veteran students, faculty, staff and alumni for their service, bravery and love of country.  We are proud of our veterans who continue to serve and those that are taking their can-do attitude, their team spirit, integrity, trust, and clarity of mission, sense of gratitude and results orientation to the world beyond the military – to a needy world where these values also matter and can make it a better place.
