Seminole Veteran Expo

May 30th, 2012 by flanews

In an effort to become the most veteran friendly campus in the nation FSU is asking student-soldiers for advice. The school held it’s first ever Veteran Benefits Expo today and took tips about how to make the transition from the battlefield to the classroom easier. Phil Lennon, a Marine who served in Iraq, says college was overwhelming at first and he grew out his hair and beard to isolate himself from other students.

“It was easy for me to kind of seclude myself even among a crowd because generally people though I looked like Jesus Christ or Charles Manson,” said Lennon.

Phil’s clean-shaven now and will graduate soon. He’s the secretary of the school’s Collegiate Veterans Association and has been working closely with FSU administrators on their goal of turning veterans into alumni. The school is planning another veteran film festival for November and has set up a veteran’s center on campus.
