From the Vice President for Student Affairs
Posted: Wednesday, August 11, 2021Changes in Veteran and Military Services
I am pleased to announce that the Veteran and Military Services Office now reports to the assistant dean of inclusion and equity, Michael Heflin, under the Dean of Students Office, as of July 1. Veteran and Military Services will continue to be managed by Brad Baumgardner, coordinator of veteran services. Also as part of this change, the office will be located on the fourth floor of the Campbell Student Union, closer to the Veteran and Military Services student lounge. This realignment resulted from a study that involved student-veterans, staff members, and benchmarking with standards established for veteran-serving programs. This study was presented to the provost and me, and we forwarded the recommendations of the group and support for the change to President Conway-Turner. This change will continue to provide opportunities for Mr. Baumgardner and the Dean of Students area to engage with and support students who have served this country, address their needs, and continue to support their success at Buffalo State College.
