Knowledge Community Spotlight - Veterans

June 24, 2016 Crisann Hanes Colorado State University

Hello Region IV-West! Greetings from the Veterans Knowledge Community. The VKC (Veterans Knowledge Community) has had an eventful year that included a successful, and well-attended, Symposium on Military Connected Students in February in Orlando, Florida (previously titled the NASPA Veterans Conference). The Symposium on Military Connected Students welcomed conference presenters and participants from across the country, and featured Dr. Tom Jackson Jr., President of Black Hills State University, Alfred G. Harms Jr., Vice Admiral (Ret.), United States Navy, and Timothy Jones, Student Veteran at the University of West Florida, as speakers. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a successful conference, we hope to see you at the Symposium on Military Connected Students next year.

Our VKC had a leadership change this year, as well. In March we said goodbye to Chair David Vacchi, and welcomed Lauren Runco Williams as Chair – welcome Lauren! Along with Lauren, the VKC also welcomed many new people to our leadership team, including Col. Kenneth McRae, USA Ret., as our Vice Chair. We are excited to begin working together to support and advocate for student veterans in higher education, and to begin planning the next Symposium on Military Connected Students.

As a reminder, the VKC welcomes new members interested in sharing knowledge and best practices for supporting student veterans in higher education. Interested members in Region IV-W can contact [email protected] for more information. As we begin planning next year’s Symposium on Military Connected Students we hope you will consider joining us to learn more about student veterans, supports, services, and more!
