November is Military Family Month; Nov. 11 is Veterans Day

Greetings from LLCC Student Success! November is Military Family Month. During the month of November, we recognize the commitment and sacrifice families make in support of their service members. We thank our service members and their families for their dedication and support to our country during these unprecedented times.

Re-integration to civilian life can be a difficult process for many service members and their families. We want to remind faculty and staff that for LLCC students that are re-integrating as veterans, we offer support including, but not limited to:

  • Talkspace – LLCC’s tele-mental health provider.
  • Success Coaches – meet with our veteran students to discuss accessing campus and community support.
  • Career Services – help veterans to complete a career assessment and/or resume as well as job search support.
  • Financial Aid – Dawn Burch, our certifying official, can help veterans navigate how to apply for benefits.
  • Veterans Club – student club for veterans and those supporting veterans.

We encourage you to support our veterans by referring them to these resources for support as well as learning more about supporting veterans in the classroom. A great resource is: https://veterans.columbia.edu/. (Check out the video library.)

If you would like more information about how to support our veteran students, visit www.llcc.edu/veterans-services or reach out to Claire Heffron-McKinney.

Thank you for all that you do for LLCC students!
