🌟 It's NAVPA Member Spotlight Time 🌟
We are proud to highlight Tom Boscamp, Veterans Services Coordinator at in Fountain Valley, CA! Tom joined with a clear mission: "I wanted to make an impact for student veterans at the national level", and he's done just that.
For Tom, working with student veterans isn't just a job - it's his way to give back and change lives. Driven by a desire to make a difference at the national level, Tom has stepped up as a powerhouse leader within NAVPA. Today, he serves as a Region VIII Board Member, Conference Co-Chair, and Technology Chair!
Here's what drives Tom's work:
🙌 His "Why": "It's my way to give back and change lives."
🏛️ Favorite NAVPA Moment: The Mid-Year Hill visits advocating for military-connected students.
🤝 Campus Pride: Coastline’s "Hope Heroes" program for justice-impacted veterans. (Bonus: Coastline welcomes ALL veterans and military families to use their services, whether enrolled or not!)
💰 Team Wins: Tom and his team brought in over $35,000 in grants, scholarships, and donations this year!
To close out his spotlight, Tom leaves us with one of his favorite quotes: "Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care." ~ Theodore Roosevelt
