Short Takes Video Highlights the Student-Veteran Experience for Veterans Day
Veterans on the faculty and staff of the U of A's Army ROTC.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas has a proud tradition of recognizing the sacrifices made by our nation’s military personnel. The university has been recognized nationally in recent years as a military-friendly school for its efforts to support student-veterans. In honor of Veterans Day, this Short Takes video tells the story of how a student-veteran made the transition to college, pulled from the Short Takes archives.
The Veterans Resource and Information Center is the hub of the U of A’s outreach. The center supports prospective and current student-veterans in need of assistance with the admissions process, applying for military educational benefits and scholarships, and referrals to various academic departments on campus.
