Diversity in the Military
The
Student Veterans of the University of Tennessee
are hosting our first annual Vol Fighters Film Festival. With diversity being the hot button issue this year, we decided to make it our theme. We aim to show films
that help people see that veterans and the military have dealt with diversity for many years and thrive on embracing men and women from all over America, and beyond. The films will be shown in the
Alumni Memorial Building Rm 210
along with panels and discussions about being a service member in these situations.

The Vol Fighters and the Pride Center want to open the discussion of the roles played by women in combat and what it's like to be in the LGBT community while serving our country. Come out and engage in meaningful conversation as we present "Transgender,
at War and in Love", "Lioness", and "Day One."
