Campus Based Military Liaison
The Military Liaison serves as the primary point of contact for all communications, inquiries, and requests involving military-connected families. In this role, she coordinates activities, monitors operations, and provides guidance on matters relevant to these families.
She offers direct support on education-related concerns, including assistance with student transitions, deployment-related challenges, special education referrals, and access to community resources. Additionally, she collaborates with school counselors to arrange grief support or student counseling services when needed.
To ensure campus-wide awareness, the Military Liaison also provides professional development for faculty and staff. These sessions focus on identifying military-connected students and addressing the unique issues they may face.
