Students Hike to Draw Attention to Veteran Education

Thousands of students attend the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, but only a few of them may realize hundreds of their classmates are veterans. “I had someone come up to me today and say, ‘Oh where did you get that scar on your arm?’ I said, ‘I was shot in Afghanistan.’ ‘Oh, I didn’t […]

DOD Students Rank High on Standardized Tests

The latest national test results show that U.S. military students are right up there with academic powerhouse Massachusetts.

The signers “are writing to express our strong support for the […]

Admiral’s Dilemma

I’m about to suggest something that would’ve been unthinkable to me as an E-3: Put yourself in the admiral’s shoes. You’re 23 years into a terrific career as a naval physician. For 12 of that, you’ve been the president’s doctor, administering checkups to three very different POTUSes — high-stakes business, sure, but you’ve been doing […]

A Future in Coding

While stationed in Okinawa, Japan in 2008, I wouldn’t have guessed that my time in the Marine Corps would have prepared me for a future in coding.

Jobless Rate for Vets Climbs as More Enter Market

WASHINGTON — The unemployment rate for recent veterans jumped in November, but for a positive reason.

Efforts Aim to Ease Burden of Military Spouses

When Corinne Walker – then Corinne Corto – moved to Wilmington to pursue her MBA, she thought she’d get her degree and move on to wherever the best employment opportunities presented themselves.

How Veterans Are Plugging Tech Skills Gap

The tech skills shortage has got so bad that tech companies have decided to call in the troops.

Healthcare Careers: Another Way to Serve

When choosing to join America’s military, men and women make a purposeful choice to place themselves at risk for a high calling: service to their countrymen. It seems a logical fit, then, that many former servicemen and women seek careers in industries that also have this key element of service when they move on from […]

For-Profit Colleges Face Declining Enrollments

WASHINGTON — The for-profit college industry is struggling under the weight of declining enrollment, stiff competition from traditional universities and an image battered by past misdeeds, even as the Trump administration tries to offer a helping hand.
