“I have visited the North Central campus over the past four years as a way to give back to two communities which I highly regard: student veterans and the College. The Office of Veteran and Military Services has allowed me the opportunity to assist both. Each year I have worked with the veterans attending North Central and I have been increasingly impressed with the dedication and drive of these individuals. I applaud my alma mater for its dedication to this group of students.”
