It also provides a venue for dissemination of important information on veteran programs and services, such as the Diablo Valley College Veterans Alliance (DVCVA), a student-run club open to all DVC student veterans. DVCVA organizes fundraising activities and recreational events that bring veterans together. It\u2019s a critical source of information for veterans, and the club\u2019s officers also interface with the administration to advocate for student veteran needs,\u201d said Professor Anderson.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Veteran-focused certificate in small business management\/entrepreneurship<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Diablo Valley College recently established a veteran-focused certificate program in small business management\/entrepreneurship.

With this in mind, we created a pathway of business courses that lead to a certificate. The program allows veterans to develop a greater understanding of what it takes to start and grow a business. The courses are \u2018stackable,\u2019 meaning they count towards an associate degree as well should the student choose to continue their education beyond the certificate,\u201d said Professor Anderson. \u201cThe courses are all eligible for government educational reimbursement for veterans. This is important because veterans must have their educational plan approved in order to access their benefits. Veteran educational benefits are based on the veteran\u2019s term of service and can include tuition, books, and a living allowance if they are in school. If the available educational benefits are unused by the veteran, the veteran can extend those benefits to a family member.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">First annual Small Business Bootcamp<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">On November 10th, timed to coincide with Veterans Day weekend, DVC and Sentinels of Freedom will host the first annual Small Business Bootcamp, a free one-day event for veterans supported by an advisory committee comprised of leaders in business, government and education.

Professor Anderson is really looking forward to the afternoon coaching sessions. \u201cVeterans will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a business professional who will provide mentoring and advice. We will have small business and franchise owners, managers from large corporations, and service professionals in accounting, legal services, engineering, digital marketing and more.

I was living in Las Vegas at the time and enlisted in May of 2014, after which I attended Basic Combat Training in Fort Benning, Georgia. Before I knew it, I was on a plane out of Baltimore headed over to Germany. There was definitely some culture shock once I arrived there but it was a great learning experience. The base I was stationed at was located in Vilseck, which is in the state of Bavaria near the southern border of Germany. The biggest difference was how cold the winters were there especially going out to train in the snow and negative temperatures. My second trip was when we went to Israel to train with the Israeli Defense Force. That was one of my favorite moments in the military and in my life. After a little over three years in the military, I was honorably discharged in November 2017 and headed back to California to start education here at DVC,\u201d said Tracey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Tracey credits the DVC Veterans Services Office with assisting him in transitioning from active duty to higher education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">\u201cI was emailing them constantly from Germany to figure out what I needed to do as far as paperwork, and registering for classes for VA benefits, and they were incredibly helpful in answering any questions I had,\u201d said Tracey. \u201cNow, I work as a DVC student ambassador, so I always stop by the office before or after my shifts to talk with them and just check in. The Student Veterans Resource Center (SVRC) is a really great place to go study, as it\u2019s quiet and comfortable and veterans can even get tutoring there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">\u201cI can honestly say that everyone I\u2019ve met who knows that I\u2019m a veteran has been more than helpful to me. However, my business professor Charlie Shi has been particularly helpful and supportive,\u201d said Tracey. \u201cHe introduced me to the veteran entrepreneurship certificate program and other helpful workshops for veterans as well as the business club that he is an advisor for. I\u2019ve been incredibly lucky to have a great support system at DVC and I hope other veterans will attend DVC and experience that as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Tracey\u2019s experience at DVC has meant the world to him. \u201cAny veteran coming out of active duty is going to experience a unique transition going from military life to college life. DVC is great place to help ease that transition process and to be around other great veterans and veterans\u2019 services. I\u2019m just really thankful for all the help and support that I\u2019ve had from the school.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For military veterans enrolling at Diablo Valley College, the Student Veterans Resource Center (SVRC) is a welcoming transition to academic life.
