UNA Student Veterans of America

Effective today, 31 Dec 2022 I am officially retired. I have enjoyed my time working with Veterans and their dependents at UNA and wish everyone the very best.

All GI Bill recipients that submitted their required documentation prior to 29 Dec 2022 were certified to the VA. For others and/or future terms/semesters, the Office of Enrollment Management within Academic Affairs (Provost) will assume School Certifying Official responsibilities. They can be reached at [email protected]

I was assured that the Military Veterans Support Center (MVSC) will remain open and within the Division of Student Affairs, but direct management/supervision to be determined.

Good news for those that this may apply to.

Pretty proud to work with some great folks on the UNA COVID19 Recovery Task Force. While not perfect considering all of the unknowns, I think we have a good evidenced based plan - grounded in science that considers the full scope of the situation as we know it.

#PressRelease UNA Releases Return-to-Campus Plan | Jun. 29, 2020 Alabama's oldest public 4-year university located within a four-city area on the Tennessee River knows as the Shoals

Bill Announcement | The White House On Saturday, March 21, 2020, the President signed into law: S. 3503, which clarifies how the Department of Veterans Affairs should treat in-person courses of study that convert to distance learning formats due to health-related situations and other emergencies.

FYI

Senate passes emergency bill protecting GI Bill benefits as colleges go online GI Bill recipients rely on monthly stipends from the Department of Veterans Affairs to pay for housing, food and other bills. Those payments are higher for students who attend physical classes as opposed to online coursework.
