I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in the EMBA program. The cost of the program has been greatly subsidized by the Veterans Administration (VA). When you add in the contribution Loyola has made through the Yellow Ribbon Program, I am only responsible for approximately ten percent of the program cost. I think this is a huge selling point for Veterans. There’s an estimated 450,000 Veterans in Maryland (according to the Social Security Administration). I believe there are a significant number of Veterans who would be interested in the program. Below are a few suggestions I would like to offer to you: • Develop a Veteran’s panel to help with the recruiting of Veterans throughout Maryland. This panel should include a diverse group of Veterans. The

Over the course of this past year the Veterans Success Center (VSC) has made huge strides in being more visible and more involved with other areas across campus. I wanted to concentrate on reaching the incoming student-veterans so that when they encountered the veterans program it appeared to be far more established than it was, and interaction with it being perceived as a daily opportunity. This meant that we would need to be far more involved with the early processes of becoming a student such as: Premiere Night, SOAR/TSOAR/Preview Day/ Veteran specific orientation and Veteran campus tours. We also wanted to be much more accurate in speaking to our student-veteran population, so we worked directly with the Admission Office to create an
This case analysis of Stanford’s Hospital and Clinics (SHC) electronic medical record (EMR) system implementation will focus on how the healthcare organization focused on resolving a problem to meet regulatory pressures and responded to an opportunity to create operational efficiency, by capitalizing on the use of information technology to help reduce costs. We will discuss the organization’s IT problems, opportunities, and the alternatives available to address each. We will summarize an analysis of potential alternatives including the organization’s EMR system of choice and conclude with a recommendation to the Board on how to rollout the new system.
State and federal legislators both need to make it a priority to be involved in the welfare of veterans. The issues will never get better unless the individuals in charge of the laws, regulations, funding and departments step up to the challenges. That alone will not even be enough. These issues need to be addressed on a state level as well. Housing projects and professional training need to be made more widely available. Understanding the importance of both changes made at a state and federal level for the living conditions and health status of American veterans is the first step. The next step is that it must be acted on and improved. The United States of America owes that much to its
My grandfather, Larry, served in WWII. He enlisted and stationed at Camp Polk. He went through places like New Guinea and the Philippines during the war.
I am a student with a unique passion to help Military Veterans returning from the war and there will be a growing need for counselors in the military as they begin to return from war. This program will require a great amount of personal commitment and I am willing to make the necessary sacrifices. Argosy is choosing a qualified candidate who will take this program seriously and professionally.
Some of the programs that the American GI Forum offers are the Veteran’s Outreach program and the Service, Employment, Redevelopment-Jobs for Progress, Inc. (SER). The American GI Forum also holds events throughout the country. The organization’s motto is “Education is Our Freedom and Freedom Should be Everybody’s Business!” I believe that by understanding our history and educating our future generations we will continue to honor the vision that the American GI Forum and Dr. Hector P. Garcia. The American GI Forum has brought down the barriers and paved the road to the American
When deciding who to reach out to for a publicity campaign about veteran’s rights, several factors come into play. Should the focus be on the families of the veterans, the veterans themselves, or the public not associated with either that are unaware? For this campaign, the focus will be on the families of veterans as they are the most affected (aside from veterans themselves). They are right there on the veteran’s side, watching them go through the various issues, and feel just as helpless. This demographic will have the strongest feelings for advocating the rights of veterans across the board.
The issue that has been addressed throughout this study is veteran’s rights. The issue of veteran’s rights is still being pursued and is near and dear to me. Not only am I a veteran, but I come from a long line of men and women who have proudly worn the uniform in defense of our nation. Between the mindset of the American public, to the cases presented before Congress, this is an ongoing dilemma. Caring for our brothers and sisters in arms is the socially responsible thing to do. However, many roadblocks must be torn down before this can come to fruition.
This study strives to increase the awareness of healthcare disparities among veterans in hopes that veterans can receive the best healthcare possible. This study has the potential to change the structure of veterans’ health care. If their health care is damaged to the extent that some insiders and outsiders believe it to be, then hopefully the veterans’ health care system can be restructured. These disparities can be addressed in community outreach programs to expand common knowledge on the subject.
The issue of veterans’ health care has dominated public discourse for many years, with various statistics

While my personal opinion in favor of hiring veterans may be biased, the number of articles and programs pertaining to the value of this practice indicates that many organizations realize and/or should realize the benefit of hiring veterans. The skills, experiences, and strengths of this labor pool far outweigh any potential
Thank you so much for your feedback on the situation with Trevor Noel. Please know that we really value and appreciate your input. However, this sounds more like a business pitch versus an elevator pitch. I really love the fact that he is looking to help veterans with placement, but this might not be the right venue to make that pitch. The focus of our Warrior Mentorship Program is corporate employment and advancement. I do not feel like this falls into either of those categories, and it could send the wrong message to others who have been denied the opportunity to pitch their personal business ventures.
