Attention Student Veterans!
On Wednesday February 25th in Stillman Hall 145 from 4-7pm, the local VA Clinic Outreach Team will hold a focus group for veterans who do, or do not use VA services. Veterans may drop in at any time, we will be there at 4, and the door will stay open. The Outreach Team is looking for feedback on their provided services and veterans' perceptions of these services. This event is intended as a forum for veterans to give feedback to their service provider. Please share this information with any veterans whether student or not that you are aware of in our community. Thank you very much.
