Student veterans are one of America’s greatest untapped human resources.

They are emotionally mature, goal-oriented, mission-driven,
experienced leaders. They work tirelessly to achieve their objectives
and look for ways to make meaningful contributions. They are
self-sufficient; they will only ask questions when they cannot find the
answers themselves. They not only understand the concept of sacrifice
for the greater good, they’ve lived it. They are respectful and
protective of those around them. They think globally and bypass most
things trivial or trendy.

In short, they are the kind of role models we need on our
campuses, and graduating to lives of fulfillment in our workplaces. With
your support, their academic success can allow them to become some of
America’s strongest, most insightful leaders. We owe them our gratitude,
of course. But more importantly, we owe them a chance to have
meaningful new careers and fulfilling civilian lives, from which we will
all richly benefit.
