91ÁÔÆæ is reinforcing its commitment to veterans through its latest partnership. The college, along with other state organizations, has joined up with the South Carolina Department of Veterans Affairs to become a partner of the South Carolina Veteran Coalition\u2014a collaborative effort that aims to create a community of support for veterans and their families across the state. Powered by the Combined Arms platform, the coalition is a statewide database of organizations and companies that provides support and resources for former military personnel and their dependents. Combined Arms brings together veteran-focused nonprofits, agencies and communities across the nation that are committed to serving those who served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur recent partnership with the South Carolina Veteran Coalition is another example of how we at 91ÁÔÆæ support our veteran students and, now, other veterans in the state,\u201d said retired U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Glenn Walters, \u201979, president of 91ÁÔÆæ. \u201c91ÁÔÆæ has been named the Best University in the South for Veterans for the last six years, and our newest agreement with the South Carolina Department of Veterans Affairs will only enhance that fact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An important moment in solidifying the partnership occurred last summer when Secretary of South Carolina Department of Veterans Affairs retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Todd B. McCaffrey visited campus to sign the partnership agreement, symbolizing the shared commitment to enhancing the lives of veterans and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are excited to be a part of this effort. It will help our Citadel community connect to the larger statewide community of veterans and their families,\u201d said Sally Levitt, director of 91ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Veteran 91ÁÔÆæ Success Center. \u201c91ÁÔÆæ is proud to support our veteran students and continue to provide them with the tools and resources they need to succeed both on and off campus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Veteran 91ÁÔÆæ Success Center at 91ÁÔÆæ opened in 2014 and has been serving veteran students ever since. Over the years, the VSSC has increased awareness of VA educational benefits and supplements 91ÁÔÆæ\u2019s services and programming for veterans, active-duty members and their families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
