Hello!
In honor of Veterans Day, I’d like to recognize the more than 7,200 veterans and service members who are currently working towards their academic goals at the colleges and universities of Minnesota State. We are grateful for their service to our country, and I am proud of the extensive support services that are available to veterans on all Minnesota State campuses. Below I share two stories of veteran students. One highlights a current student who found online learning the perfect fit for him after suffering PTSD. The other story introduces us to a graduate who used his degree as a path to life in the military. Enjoy!
