Bradley & ICC Team Up for Veterans Support Event

April 10, 2015

The Bradley University Social Services Association is co-sponsoring an informal Veteran “Meet and Greet” with Illinois Central College. It will take place Tuesday, April 14 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Fieldhouse in Campustown.

All current Bradley and ICC students or faculty members who have served, or are serving in the Armed Forces as Active Duty, Guard, or Reserves are invited to attend.

Dan Smith, President of Bradley University Social Services Association says the primary goal is to provide a venue for Veterans to not only socialize, support, and interact with each, but to also be introduced to local VA representatives who can help them with any needs that they may have.

Guest Representatives from the Veteran's Affairs will be on hand to answer questions and provide support. Special guests will include: Dr. Stephanie Sleister (US Department of Veteran Affairs, VBA/VR&E), Michael Brooks (Peoria County VAC Superintendent), Alan Connelly (Peoria Veterans Center), Justin Anweiler (Team Leader, Peoria Veterans Center).

The event also provides an opportunity for ICC Veteran students to see Bradley University as an option if they are considering a transfer to Bradley to further their education.
