MCC Faculty to Expand Program for Supporting Military Veterans and Service Members
Congratulations to Dr. Holly Wheeler (English-Philosophy) on the development of STARS (Supporting Transitioning and Returning Service Members), a four-part training series now co-sponsored and offered by Upstate New York College Collaboration (UNYCC). The project has three main objectives:
- To educate the college community about the needs, concerns, and challenges of veteran students;
- To develop a network of faculty, staff, and administrators willing to provide assistance, support, and a safe place for veterans; and
- To provide visible support across campuses for veteran students.
For the Spring 2022 sessions, Dr. Wheeler and Eric Wheeler, Assistant Director of Veteran Services at MCC, will lead discussions on a range of topics, from supporting military students in the classroom to understanding veteran benefits.
To learn more and register, please visit UNYCC’s STARS project webpage.
