Joining Forces to Serve Student Veterans

A Symposium



Bowling Green State University, along with Owens Community College, the

Ohio College Personnel Association and the Ohio Academic Advising

Association, will host a one-day symposium to explore how better to

serve the needs of our returning student veterans. Our purpose is to

encourage collaboration among campus, community, government, and

students. We cordially invite you join us. If you are unable to attend,

we request that you forward this invitation to other staff members who

work with student veterans.



          This symposium will address these questions:



•           Who are our student veterans?

•           What strengths do they bring to campus?

•           What challenges face student veterans?

•           What can student affairs professionals do to support them?





May 22, 2009

Featured speakers and panelists will include John Schupp, Project SERV,
