Veterans Day is an opportunity to reflect on their service and sacrifices, but honoring veterans should extend beyond one day. It should also be reflected in how we support them throughout the year.At UW-Whitewater, supporting veterans, service members and their families means more than helping them access educational benefits. It means creating an environment where they feel welcomed, valued and connected to our campus community.As a retired Navy veteran and UW-Whitewater alumnus, I understand the challenges of transitioning from military service to higher education. After 20 years in the military, returning to the classroom was a different experience. Getting involved on campus and building relationships helped me find a sense of belonging, something I hope every veteran student can experience.Our office helps students navigate educational benefits, connect with campus resources and find opportunities to engage with others. Through the Chancellor’s Committee on Veterans and Servicemembers Success, we continue working to strengthen veteran support, improve campus resources and build community partnerships.This Veterans Week, UW-Whitewater is hosting the I Am Not Invisible exhibit, highlighting women veterans and their contributions to military service. It reminds us that veterans come from different backgrounds and that every veteran has a unique story.As we observe Veterans Day, I encourage our campus community to participate in Veterans Week activities, attend our Veterans Day ceremony and take time to connect with the veterans around them.Supporting veterans is not just about thanking them for their service. It is about providing the opportunities, resources and connections they need to succeed in the next chapter of their lives.That is our commitment at UW-Whitewater, not just on Veterans Day, but every day.</div></body>
