Guest Speakers during the October 2013 Term

Veterans Day Appreciation Event

In honor of our Veteran students, the Education Department hosted an appreciation event on November 11, 2013 at 5:00P.M. in which all our Veteran students along with Veteran Andre Holly (Director of Admission) and Steve Ward (Adjunct Faculty) were invited to attend. During this event the students, Andre, and Steve were able to share thier experiences with one another and the Education Department Administration. The event gave our veterans the opportunity to meet and talk with fellow veterans (students and staff) they either already knew or have not met before. From an observer's view, the Veterans seem to really enjoy and appreciate the event and the company of each Veterans.
