Joshua Battin, assistant professor of Criminal Justice, and Dusty Zeyn, associate director for Residence Life, both veterans themselves, are serving as advisors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe transition from military life to student life can be challenging,\u201d Battin said. \u201cWe want this organization to provide support and encouragement to our veterans and active military personnel.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for them to know they\u2019re not alone and that their military experience is valuable,\u201d Zeyn said. \u201cOur organization lets them know that and gives them support and guidance to help them find success in this new phase of their lives.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first officers for the new organization are Jesse Olson (Galeton, PA), president; Darren Barnard (Loganton, PA), vice president; Dustin Ackley (Athens, PA), treasurer and Andrew Weiser (Herndon, PA), secretary.<\/strong><\/p>\n
