designed to optimize individual growth with campus
engagement, community involvement, and enriched
cultural experiences. Through advocacy, mentoring,
exploration, and inspiration each student is
empowered to become a responsible, life-long
learner. As the veterans’ representative, I can help
you achieve your goals. If you are not a current
