Virtual Student Veteran Meeting – Wednesday, April 29th.

Since we are not able to have Student Veteran Meetings on campus right now, we are going to start virtual Student Veteran meetings for students on all ECPI Campuses.   Our first meetings will be on Wednesday, April 29 at 1:30 PM EST and 5:00 PM EST and the Zoom links to both meetings are below.  This will be a great opportunity as we have military and veteran students joining in from San Antonio to Orlando, Northern Virginia, and across the Carolinas!

There are a lot of new policies impacting the GI Bill and other important areas for our military and veteran students, and these meetings will give us a chance to provide you information on several different areas.  We will have an ECPI GI Bill Certifying Official talk about the GI Bill Housing payments and a VA Vet Success Counselor talk about the Vocation Rehab program/Chapter 31.  We will also have a Service Officer from the American Legion talk about the VA Disability Rating and why it is important to get that done ASAP!   

Here are the topics and presenters we will have during this meeting: 

Gina Boyd:  Newport News Campus Director of Financial Aid/GI Bill Certifying Official:  GI Bill housing allowance impacts due to COVID

Eric Isaksen:  American Legion Service Officer: Discuss the VA Disability Rating Process

Maureen Gibson:  Veterans Affairs Vocational Rehab Counselor on ECPI Virginia Beach Campus: Discuss the Voc Rehab/GI Bill Chapter 31 program and VA resources
