Student veterans at university duly noted The University of San Diego, California (UCSD), 9500 Gilman Drive, recently made the decision to offer more than 200 student veterans who have actively served in the military new opportunities. “More and more veterans are returning from duty and actively enrolling in colleges and universities throughout the country,” said Jed Schlueter, from the university’s Transfer Student Services. “As a result, Mae Brown, assistant vice chancellor for Admissions and Enrollment Services, convened a work group in 2007 to identify areas on how we can better serve this very important student population, and here at UCSD, we’re seeing some of the best and brightest.” During the month of November, UCSD hosted its ninth annual Veterans Recognition Ceremony, which honored veterans and men and women who are presently serving in the Armed Forces. “We hope to make that transition to UCSD, for all student veterans and military service members, a smooth one,” Schlueter said. “We want these students to be able to utilize the benefits they have worked so hard to earn, and we want them to be successful here.” For more information, visit www.ucsd.edu. In related news, the UC San Diego Veterans Association has dedicated a memorial plaque and bench to Christopher Glenn Mueller and all UCSD veterans. A UCSD alumnus, Navy SEAL and CIA agent, Mueller was killed during an ambush in Afghanistan in 2003. The UC San Diego Memorial was established by friends and family to honor Mueller and other veterans on campus.
