Supporting Veterans in Our Community
KSUnite DEIB Conference Day 3 - November 16, 2022 - Concurrent Conference Sessions Period 3 (8:30am-9:30am)
Flint Hills Room
With Ft. Riley being such a vital partner with Kansas State University, it is essential that we embrace the military community. This goes beyond commemorative celebrations at sporting events. What can we as a university do to embrace current and former members of the military? What assets can military affiliated students, faculty, and staff bring to our campus? How can we assist military affiliated students in their transition to higher education and the work force?
