ADV 123 Workshop: Navigating Military Education Benefits
This workshop will focus on military educational benefits, how these benefits work or do not work with financial aid, and how to properly advise course schedules to optimize VA/Financial Aid eligibility. We will also highlight Veteran Services’ One Stop Shop Model which will include our processes and procedures, Early Alert System Survey, different veteran resources, and new initiatives.
Presenters: Lori Bartkovich and Michael Bates
Flynn Campus Center, 3-116
2:00-3:30pm
Also on Monday, please join us for a screening of Gold Star Children, a documentary feature film that takes an intimate look at American children who've lost a parent to war. The film follows the parallel journeys of two generations of grieving children; recent war orphans who’ve lost military parents serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and here at home, learn to heal alongside the now adult-child survivors of the Vietnam War. The film brings together voices of today with historical context, giving meaning and shape to how America understands those who sacrifice in service to their country and the children and families they leave behind.
Facilitator: Christina Griffith, Support Coordinator for the United States Army Reserve Survivor Outreach Services will lead a discussion after the film.
Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center (Monroe A)
