Marine veteran and first-year BCC student, Andrew Burgmuller (pictured), recently contacted Misty-Star Vining (pictured), BCC’s Veteran Resource Assistant. “She is a veteran and was extremely helpful, especially when it came to understanding what the GI Bill offers that’s outside the box of traditional education,” said Andrew. “It’s more complicated than you think and easy to miss out on opportunities if you don’t ask. She also introduced me to The Learning Center (TLC). I used it a lot early on and am now serving as a work-study student helping others with their studies. I’m grateful for the support I’ve received, especially from the many BCC staff members who are also veterans.”
To find out more and take advantage of the many services available to military students and faculty, please contact Misty Starr Vining at (910) 755-8508.
