Those that participate in the military or have a family that is committed to the military experience invest in the greater good of all people. I was very interested in becoming a Career Navigator for the Yellow Ribbon Advance program because it is a privilege to assist and help military connected students to navigate and pursue meaningful educational experiences that will lead to enhanced careers and other opportunities. It helps me be a part of thanking them for their service!
