Veteran's Day 2020

Many students are curious about the military, but are reluctant to visit recruiters because of the perceived high pressure nature of that business. The Office of Veterans Affairs at YSU would like to eliminate that stress and simply provide an opportunity for students to have their questions answered about what joining the military (Reserves, Guard or Active Duty) really entails. The military has wonderful education benefits to help defray or completely eliminate the cost of your college education. Join Rick Williams, Associate Director of the Office of Veterans Affairs at YSU for a low threat discussion about joining the military. No recruiters will be in this session. Simply have your questions answered about Reserve or Active service in the military and the benefits that follow.
Email Rick Williams, for an invite to this WebEx discussion, Thursday, November 12th, 4-6 pm
🐧

I'm a retired US Army Major with 26 years of service.

Please feel free to contact me with your questions.

We are open Monday- Friday 8am- 5pm

The Office of Veterans Affairs at YSU remembers that fateful day 19 years ago that changed the lives of all Americans especially those who lost loved ones. We will never forget.

The Office of Veterans Affairs joins in this awareness campaign for su***de prevention. The US, on average, loses 17 veterans a day due to su***de. If you are a veteran, and having thoughts of su***de, call the Veterans Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255 and press 1.

Hang in there student veterans. There's only a few more weeks left in the semester. COVID-19 has caused unprecedented change that has affected everybody. Veterans, more so than most, should be accustomed to adapting and overcoming.

Happy Birthday to the man whose name graces the Veterans Resource Center at Youngstown State University. Much love, honor and respect for Carl A Nunziato.

We were honored to have Debra Ashenhurst, Retired Army Major General, and current Director of the Ohio Department of Veterans Services make a trip from Columbus to tour the Carl A.
