“Southwestern has helped me navigate the unique financial and academic needs I have as a Student Veteran. The faculty and staff are always willing to work with me and my additional responsibilities as a Commissioned Officer. My military service has shaped my desire to serve people as an attorney. I’m proud to receive G.I. Job's Veteran Leadership Award and represent Southwestern.”
