TO: Campus Community
FR: The Military and Veteran Resource Center 

Dear Campus Community,

There has been a schedule change for the previously communicated VET NET Ally Seminar. This event will now be held on Thursday, October 12 from 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM in the Alexander Valley Room on the second floor of the Student Center. 

As a reminder, this seminar will be presented by Dr. Marshall Thomas, Director of Veteran Affairs from the Chancellor’s Office and aims to inform faculty, staff, and administrators of the challenges that the military-affiliated population of students (specifically veterans) face everyday. The seminar will also educate on ways we can better support these students in their academic and college lives and  provide a better understanding of the military culture, including reasons people join the military, discussions about the policies and procedures currently affecting veteran students, and ways to be an ally.  Participation in this seminar is optional and light refreshments will be provided.

For any other questions, please contact the Veteran Services Advisor, Yvonne Kang-Lopez at: kanglopezy@sonoma.edu.

Best regards,
The Military and Veteran Resource Center (MAVRC)
