Veteran and student Garrett Anderson is excited for veterans on campus to have a “one-stop shop” to to find resources, guidance, counseling and more on campus.
The Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education is hosting an open house for veterans on campus Thursday.
“In the military you’re very structured. So when you throw these guys into college, they don’t have a set schedule so it’s hard for them to conceptualize how to set their own study routines,” said Anderson, a veteran and a graduate student in AHS. “So what we are going to do here is teach them those skills.”
The new facility will serve the approximated 350 veterans on campus as well as 150 dependents.
“We’ll be introduced to the center and be able to use it (Thursday),” said Jennifer Warning, a veteran and junior in LAS. “We’ll be more informed after the open house.”
The center offers transition and academic services, counseling, employment services and other programs aimed at helping veterans succeed in college and in the workforce.
“Our goal is to help student veterans with a disability to stay enrolled, perform academically well and to graduate and go into meaningful work,” said Nicholas Osborne, interim director for the center.

This is totally awesome! We need this all around the country and to stop letting illegals and refugees to take from veterans who are in need.

No I had not seen this home for wounded veterans COL Mikel J. Burroughs. I am aware of several homes the USMC and the US Army built and staffed to help wounded veterans recover with their families and Samaritan's Purse has a place in Alaska where wounded military/veterans go with their spouse to help restore their marriages.

There is one in NC that was used formerly by Asians and essentially does the same thing. The Governer who is a Republican is pushing this and supporting it. Richard Burr NC-R helped me. I am in his debt.
