Anyone can join the San Jose City College Veterans Association and support veterans and future veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cVeterans need to be recognized. There is a growing population of military-related individuals attending SJCC,\u201d said Chris Gibson, 26, mechanical engineering major and veterans association club treasurer.<\/p>\n

The association provides student services and structure for incoming and present students and veterans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe provide structure based on knowledgeable officers and current SJCC staff, such as benefits, claim issues, weekly meetings, educational planning and financial concerns for students and veterans,\u201d Gibson said.<\/p>\n

This association has been recognized by Associated Students Government since March.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to help create a foundation for all veterans, their families and anyone who is interested in any branch of the military,\u201d Gibson said.<\/p>\n

The association members meet every Thursday in the Student Center in room SC-204 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. and at the veterans\u2019 table in the hallways in the Student Center on Mondays at noon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe association is important because has been absent from SJCC for far too long,\u201d said Mic Taylor, 48, computer science major, veterans association secretary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to see the veterans taken care of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their board consists of a member-elected association that helps network and encourages all veterans and students to enhance veteran awareness.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our weekly meetings, fliers and guest speakers from all branches of the military services we can help our fellow students become part of a knowledgeable foundation,\u201d Gibson said.<\/p>\n

The association provides non-binding advice, recommendations, guidance and advice, that may pertain to strategic direction, technology, standards, infrastructure, administration, legislative policy to veterans and students.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to have an association to let the veterans\u2019 voices be heard,\u201d said Jourdan Aguirre, 22, nursing major, \u201cbecause community colleges have a mixed population variety.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
