JR has worked so hard to make the Veterans Club at Bakersfield College become a reality. He feels that there is a need for Bakersfield College veterans who are returning to school after their service to receive support with a variety of issues including navigating the GI Bill, dealing with transitioning back into the civilian arena, and perhaps even with combat issues like PTSD. After writing up the club constitution and creating a club executive board, JR was finally ready for the club to be approved. Last Friday, the Student Government Association voted on making the club official and it was passed unanimously. Their first official meeting will take place this Friday, May 7th at 9am.
In the Bakersfield College newspaper, The Renegade Rip, the Veterans Club was announced to all students. To read the article online, click here.
