The Office of Veterans Affairs at Rutgers University in Camden is a crucial and viable resource to veterans transitioning back to academia. Fred Davis, the Director, was encouraging from the beginning and made me feel as though the shift would not be as difficult as I imagined. Right from the start, I quickly realized that Rutgers-Camden goes above and beyond for the student veterans of their campus, from workshops, to the Veterans luncheon, and to the fundraising events and day trips to places like New York City; there was much more going on here that I could imagine! The Office of Veterans Affairs has always been there to answer any questions that I had, or to assist me with financial or academic concerns. I was offered a position to work with veterans in the Office of Veterans Affairs, and began advocating and working to ensure that veterans had the same attentive care and attention that I received upon the start of classes. Upon graduation, I decided that I wanted to continue my education and pursue something greater. As an assistant in the Office of Veterans Affairs, I was afforded the opportunity to meet with BG Flora Darpino, a Rutgers Camden Law graduate and guest speaker at our luncheon. Subsequently, after her visit, I decided to again pursue my dream of attending law school; which I did. I am now a 1st-year law student at Rutgers School of Law in Camden, and attribute my success to the dedication and loyalty that the administration has for veterans. Without that motivation, I don’t feel as though I would have accomplished as much as I have. I am proud to be a Rutgers-Camden student and am so happy that I chose to attend this college for my undergraduate and graduate education.
