Assisted in launching veteran-specific courses, include the Personal Memoirs class, giving veterans an opportunity to write their own memoirs of their time in service.
Through numerous meetings, continued engagement with the university and the collection of over 3,000 signatures, helped influence Wright State to invest ~$1.5 million dollars in constructing a new Veteran and Military Center.
In August 2013, the Veteran and Military Center was opened. This space became dedicated to assisting veteran and military-connected students of Wright State as they learn, grow, and thrive. The VMC has accomplished many goals, including;
Opening a Wright State charter within the Student Veterans of America.
