“Answering the Call” is a student-designed monument to honor veterans of Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. The monument is sited outside of IUP’s Humanities and Social Sciences Building and adjacent to the university’s American, Pennsylvanian, and IUP flags.
“Answering the Call” was commissioned by IUP’s Rho Tau Chi. The honor fraternity has 37 active members. IUP is routinely recognized in national publications as a “Best for Vets” and “Military Friendly” university.
