military education guide
says Robert Rosinski, the club vice president and University of Arizona legislative director for the SVA. He is studying civil engineering and is a staff sergeant in the Air Force Re- serve after four years of active duty Air Force service. Rosinski notes when the Veterans Service Office first opened on cam- pus, it saw five to 10 veterans a week. Now, through word of mouth, as many as 110 veterans a day are using the office. “These bills are an exten- sion of the best practices we have seen and are an attempt to bring this successful program to other univer- sities, to continue the legacy of suc- cess we have seen at the University of Arizona,” Rosinski says. “It is not a response to any individual event or action but rather an extension of the hard work and dedication student veterans have shown.” When seeking out veteran-friendly campuses, he says anyone in the ser- vice can count on several factors, as outlined in the new law, to make their determinations. For those looking for Veteran Supportive Campuses, the Department of Arizona Veterans’ Ser- vices soon will create a website listing the schools that meet those criteria. As policies change and veterans continue to adjust to their new school environments, Rosinski reminds them: “You are in transi- tion and things in college will be significantly different than they were in the military. Work with your counselors, professors, and advisors. When they learn that you are just a normal student, you will find there is no ill will toward you. College is challenging. Use the skills you learned in the military — discipline, teamwork, and time management — to achieve your success.”
