Month: October 2019

We encourage all to take advantage of these opportunities!

• Surviving Home and Jared Lyon Keynote. Clemson graduate student vet, Tracey Cooper-Harris, is featured in Surviving Home sharing her experiences suing and WINNING against the VA so her wife could gain military dependent benefits. She, along with her wife and the producer and director of the documentary, will be at the viewing to host a Q&A after the viewing. It will be great!

• A Green Zone Training is also occurring this week. This is an excellent training to learn how to best support student vets and military-connected individuals.
•  On Friday, the CEO of Student Veterans of America, Jared Lyon, will be speaking to the campus on the contributions of student vets to Higher Ed and how we can support our vets.
