Two Veterans Center members were honored Monday in Memorial Union with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Outstanding Public Service Award for their commitment and dedication to veterans on campus and in the community.
Carol Fleisher and Dan Sewell were influential in creating and expanding the MU Veterans Center, a campus office that helps veterans make the transition from military to civilian life.
Fleisher, director of the MU Veterans Center, worked closely with Sewell to develop the office. She said he is an example to those veterans who worry they cannot pursue an education after serving their country.
