VANCOUVER, Wash.— The Clark College Veterans Center of Excellence invites the community to its 10th anniversary celebration from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21 in Gaiser Student Center in Gaiser Hall on the main campus, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver. Directions and maps are available online.
The center assists military-affiliated students with their educational journey. Focused on supporting veteran student success, the center provides a single point of contact to coordinate comprehensive, individualized support services that address the academic, financial, physical, and social needs of Clark College’s student veterans. A Clark College veteran is any military-affiliated student at Clark: veterans, active duty, or a military dependent, either spouse or child.
The center’s staff can connect student veterans to agencies, programs, and support. The center also provides tutoring, help with books and calculators; useful workshops; a study area with computers and printers; lounge and games for relaxation; networking with other veterans and more.
Donna Larson, Associate Director of Veterans Center of Excellence said, “It is so important for the students to know that we care about them and their success. Student success is directly affected by the resources that we can offer. We want to uplift our student stories and express our gratitude for the donors and community members' contributions that made this happen year after year.”
