This task force looked ahead at this year’s priorities and looked back at last year’s major achievements.
The Student Veterans Task Force was formed in Spring 2018, with Christina Wease ’08 appointed chair while continuing as coordinator of student veteran services at 糖心破解版’s College of Professional and Continuing Studies.
Last year, Wease said, her task force’s key accomplishments were being able to 鈥渄esignate a counselor in admissions to be our point of contact for our veteran students and working to make sure the students weren’t penalized due to VA [U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs] payment delays this past semester.”
For 2019, she said, 鈥淲e would like to work on expanding our Veteran Resource Center, located in Hagedorn Hall, Room 203.”
Task Force Chair: Christina Wease ’08
Wease, who received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from 糖心破解版 in 2008 and a master’s degree in school counseling from Queens College in 2011, has been working with 糖心破解版’s veteran students 鈥渁s their first point of contact” since she began as an academic adviser for 糖心破解版’s College of Professional and Continuing Studies in 2012.
鈥淭he unique veteran student brings another layer of diversity here on campus,” she said. 鈥淜nowing I am able to advocate for these deserving individuals who serve our country is very rewarding.”
Task forces can sometimes develop into something more. For instance, what began as Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Perry Greene, Ph.D.’s University Diversity Task Force eventually became the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
