John Bechtol, from the Office of Veteran's Affairs and Services here on campus, talked to the Committee on Undergraduate Recruitment, Admissions, and Financial Aid about the steps he has been taking to help vets attending UW as well as his plans for future improvement.
Because of the new federal GI Bill (aka the Post 9/11 GI Bill), it is expected that universities will have an influx of vets in the next couple of years; John is doing his best to help UW prepare for this. He is working to improve UW's system of identifying veterans as well as guiding them through the process of receiving the higher education benefits.
During the final meetings of the semester, the committee will be compiling all of the information brought before the committee throughout the year in order to formulate recommendations to the Faculty Senate.
If anyone is looking for more information on what CURAFA has done this year or wants to give input on any issue this committee deals with, let me know.
