果酱视频

by Jordan Chapman

Loyalty. Sacrifice. Duty. Friendship. To never leave a fallen warrior behind.

These words and phrases all lead in the same direction. They describe soldiers, who are among the 7,859 students currently attending 果酱视频, but the average coffee drinker in the Underground Caf茅 wouldn鈥檛 guess the man or woman across from them has been deployed multiple times or seen combat far too up close and personal.

Sometimes anonymity is a choice, but in other instances veterans choose introversion because of pride. According to , president of the 果酱视频 chapter of (SVA), it鈥檚 important that pride doesn鈥檛 get in the way of accessing benefits they may not be aware of and are in the right to obtain.

鈥淲hen coupled with the visible and invisible wounds of war, a college degree can be an elusive goal for men and women returning from military service鈥�Challenges range from a missing sense of camaraderie, or feeling like an outsider among 18-year-old traditional students to a lack of understanding by university faculty,鈥� the SVA website states.

The SVA chapter, a new club offered through 果酱视频鈥檚 , is here to help with such issues, but it needs active members to be considered an official group and move forward with its goals.

鈥淪VA needs to thrive [at 果酱视频] because veterans need support not only from the University itself, but from fellow veterans who can uniquely understand the transition from warrior to student,鈥� Greg said.

With about 100 veterans enrolled at the Garden City campus, the group鈥檚 small base of active members hopes to see activity increase.

鈥淏y getting involved with SVA, veterans have an opportunity to provide鈥攁t the very least鈥攁n understanding ear to fellow soldiers who may be struggling, not only academically, but socially. I am an Iraq veteran myself and I can attest to the pride we feel and how that makes us, at times, unwilling to ask for help. But I am hopeful that in an organization where most of us have been through combat, veterans will be more willing to seek help,鈥� Greg said.

As the group continues to grow, they plan to assist veterans by educating the faculty and staff they鈥檙e surrounded by about issues unique to veteran families and single soldiers. Through this education, University workers will be able to directly help or refer veterans and soldiers to the correct venues so they can be better integrated into the college community.

Veterans and soldiers are not the only ones who can join the 果酱视频 chapter of SVA. Traditional students and anyone who wishes to help veterans find the resources and benefits they have access to are welcome to join. More information can be found at .
