During the recent Memorial Day weekend, in addition to enjoying holiday barbecues, we should remember the sacrifices of our veterans in fighting for freedom and democracy.  Since the GI Bill was established in 1947, the US has generously given benefits to veterans to recognize their service, and the veterans also give back to the campus communities they have joined. And yet, with the complex paperwork requirements and confusing hurdles from both universities and the federal government, veterans often struggle to claim and maintain their hard-earned benefits. A new company, known as Milvet Navigator, is helping. You can read about this and the larger picture of veterans in higher education in my recent Forbes.com piece, which is entitled “From Service To Success: Making Veterans Feel Welcome On Campus.” Milvet Navigator, founded by Dr. Mahdi Omar and Paul DeCecco, a 29-year Army veteran, helps veterans and campuses navigate through regulatory complexities with new software systems. These systems also free up campus certifying officials to have more time to make these veterans feel welcome. Helping these veterans navigate their way back into life after military service, and making them more welcome on our campuses is the best way we can thank them for their heroic service to our country.
