Veteran Testimonials
At the end of the day, it matters little what we say about ourselves. It's what student veterans and graduates say that really counts:
“VetSuccess on Campus is an innovative approach to help Veterans in the often difficult transition from military service to academic life. Placing experienced VA counselors directly on college campuses strengthens VA’s partnership with institutions of higher learning and creates myriad opportunities to help Veterans succeed.”
Allison A. Hickey, VA’s Under Secretary for Benefits
“Working with Veterans keeps me humble, because they are selfless and know the value of commitment and taking care of others, not because anyone is looking at them, but because they know it’s the right thing to do, they are also great for providing perspective to younger students, and even mentoring skills. They know how to give back to the community; they've been doing it their entire careers!"
Culinary Arts Faculty Member Lt. Col. Katherine Bryant (U.S. Army Retired)
