Offered in conjunction with Operation Military Family, the Office of Special Services invites you to a workshop dedicated to overcoming myths about veteran students on May 19 at 2 p.m. in room 1402.
You’ll walk away from this session with a better understanding of:
- how to relate to Veteran Students,
- what “facts” really are myths,
- the Impact of PTSD on the Veteran population,
- what the Veteran Employment and wages environment looks like,
- how Veterans and Problem-solving go hand-in-hand, and
- what the real story is behing the “Homeless Veteran epidemic.”
Food and beverages will be available. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, engage in thoughtful and provocative conversation, and you’ll be better equipped to understand and maybe even answer questions from your veteran students.
Day at a Glance 
From Kathy Cook, Director, Office of Special Services
I am so pleased to see such interest in this topic! This presentation will be given by Operation Military Family, and they are scheduled to do at least one more presentation for us. We will look into the possibility of holding it during opening week.
I also wanted to let you know that the staff in the veterans office will be contacting departments over the summer to schedule time to come present at department meetings during fall quarter. Those presentation will provide more direct info on veterans and the services available to them on campus.
Please feel free to contact the Office of Special Services (OSS) , the department that houses the Veterans Program on campus. We are happy to present at departmental meetings sooner, and are available for any questions you may have about serving vets on campus. We can be reached at 206-546-4545 or via email at oss@shoreline.edu. Take care.
I agree with Diana — I’d like to attend, but am already booked with meetings during this time. Will the workshop be recorded? Will there be additional workshops?
This is a very busy time of the year. Although I would like to attend, I cannot at this time. Can we hope that this will be repeated, say, during Opening Week?
