The
transition from active deployment to civilian life is one that many
soldiers look forward to, but one that often proves to be more
challenging than expected.
Soldiers may feel that they are returning to an unfamiliar environment
or that exposure to the sights and sounds of war have left them a
changed person. Even soldiers who have not been exposed to such
traumatic events have typically experienced the cumulative
stresses of living in harsh environments, separation from loved ones
and deferring other life ambitions. As more and more student veterans
join the UW, how can we best support them in and out of the classroom?
Join us as we work towards answering this question
and other related questions.
On
behalf of the Career Center, Husky United Military Veterans (HUMV), and
the Veteran’s Center, please mark your calendars and join us for a
Student Veteran
Panel. At this event, you will hear from student veterans, Tim Wold,
Director of the UW Veteran’s Center, and guest speaker, Robert Stacey,
Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, who will provide his
thoughts on how we might best support our student
veterans.
This
event is a golden opportunity to hear directly from student veterans,
receive information on valuable campus resources, and establish
relationships
within the student veteran community at UW.
Below are the details:
