May is Military Appreciation Month! We honor and thank all current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces for their service and sacrifice. Whether you're a service member, veteran, or military family member, your dedication and bravery doesn't go unnoticed. Join us in showing appreciation and support for our military community this month and every month!

CSU Global is looking for a military or veteran student to share their experience with the marketing team. This interview will be used to create a video that will be used in marketing materials for prospective students to share the experience of a military CSU Global student, speaking on the unique circumstances our military students face in their day to day lives and how CSU Global has been a partner through that process. We are looking for 45 minutes of time between April 3 and April 15 for an interview, as well as photos of yourself and things you do in your personal life to be used as a b-roll in the video. If you’re interested please email Rachel McCoy : [email protected] by TOMORROW!!! 05 April is the deadline!

GRADUATING VETERANS:::

With our recent partnership with CSU Ft. Collins we have been given the opportunity to provide military stoles for graduation. Unfortunately, the stole would not arrive on time for actual graduation ceremonies, but it’s still a nice remembrance piece to set yourself apart.

Fill out the survey below sponsored by CSU Ft. Collins where you can register to have a stole sent to you!

If you are a graduating student in Electrical Engineering or Systems Engineering, there are job opportunities available in Colorado Springs, Roy (UT), and Manhattan Beach (Space Park, CA) for the Sentinel Program. Additionally, there is a need for the STRIKE Program (B-21) in Melbourne, FL. If you are interested, please send your resumes to me (Jeffery) as I am also a hiring manager. I will send you the requisitions under which these positions fall so that you can apply. Some of these positions are urgently required, so please act fast. If you have active security clearances, please make sure to mention it on your resumes.

Also, I would like to remind you that resume writing/building is also an option. Please send your resumes to the email address listed below. If you know anyone who might be interested, please share this information with them.

Read our SVO President’s story here!!

"As a sergeant in the U.S. Army, I was stationed for two years near the Korean Demilitarized Zone, responsible for helping safeguard the democracy of South Korea under constant threat from the authoritarian state of North Korea. During that time, from 2012 to 2014, missiles occasionally soared over our heads and splashed down in the Sea of Japan. It was then – as I understood the reality of North Korea’s military capabilities – that I realized I was at the front lines of democracy for both South Korea and the United States."

Both, And

I just wanted to share in a recent revelation I had while speaking with our SVO members.

One of my colleagues once told me "both, and" and it struck me like a lightening bolt. I was casually discussing with her about my life and how things were going, overall, pretty good, but that there were a few 'stains' on my experience. I couldn't accurately describe how I was doing because I had good things and bad things mixed in together. I wanted to lean toward saying that I wasn't doing well, but there were still good things in life holding me back from committing to that. Then, she told me "both, and." Things can be BOTH bad AND good at the same time.

Naturally, I think that when we as humans experience one bad thing, it can have an impact on the rest of our lives. One bad thing equals a slew of bad things. This is often referred to as Black And White Thinking, a common cognitive distortion that many people fall into. This world is complex. Not everything is always good or always bad. There is a grey scale somewhere in the middle that we are often navigating through. We humans are complex. It is okay for a slew of things to not be going your way... but maybe something really brightened your day.

Accepting this grey, middle area can be hard. Often times, though, it allows for you to really connect with what is happening around you. Lean into the "both, and" idea. Embrace it. Nothing is ever straightforward or easy to describe, and that is okay.

Hello Everyone!!
