Veterans Movie Night - Iraq: A Student Veteran’s Experience
Who: All veterans, University students, staff, faculty, and our friends/neighbors in the community were invited.
What: The VTC offered this exclusive, unbiased movie based on one of our veteran's experiences during his deployment to Iraq. This event was intended to help students understand a bit more about what many student veterans (their peers on campus) have experienced during their deployment(s) to a combat zone. This was also a good way for veterans to learn about the experiences of other veterans. This event was intended to create a sense of community among the veterans on campus and to help bridge the gap between veterans and non-veterans.
When: Wednesday April 16th, 2008, 6:30pm - 9pm
Where: Theater in Coffman Union
Free popcorn & pop were provided.

What: We had two veterans share their experiences from their deployments.
