A handful of months after the college announced a major gift from Jane Hagelstein and a grant from a local foundation to help create a Veterans Resource Center, that center held its first public event to welcome student veterans and other members of the college community.
“This is a major milestone for the campus community as we pull together all the resources we have for veterans for their personal, financial and educational success,” said Dean of Student Success & Retention Matthew Rygg as he greeted guests to the center’s open house, held March 11.
