Why Veterans major in Human Services at Western!

 

"As a Veteran myself, I have noticed the sentiment among us that we are not satisfied with the current status of the society we fought for and now live in. The Human Services Program can teach us how to effectively influence change throughout all levels of our society. It gave me new professional skills and allowed me to apply my education before graduation, giving me an upper hand entering the workforce. If you are interested in continuing service to your country and community, consider the Human Services major! "

"Western and the Human Services Program are a safe place for veterans. Some students voiced they did not like the war but that did not mean in any shape or form that they did not support veterans. The Human Services Program has given me the experiences, knowledge, confidence, and tools I need to succeed in helping my community."

 

Stephanie Morgareidge, Human Services Senior

Iraq Veteran

(US Army Supply Clerk ’02-‘05)

"The Human Services Program helped me in a multitude of ways. It opened my eyes to more than I anticipated and helped me become a better partner, friend, and more appreciative of everything that I have in my life. Human Services showed me that there is more than one way to communicate and to remember to look at the picture from every angle possible."
