New and returning MTSU student veterans and their families are welcome to attend
a “newcomers briefing” provided by the Charlie

in Cantrell Hall of the Tom H. Jackson Building, 628 Alma Mater Drive. To find

The briefing is to ensure veterans and their families are up
to speed on campus resources, said Dr. Hilary
Miller, center director.
Miller and her staff are targeting new-to-MTSU student
veterans and family members, but it is open to all military-connected students,
she said.
“Our goal is to make sure they have on-campus contacts for
all offices that can help them be successful,” Miller said. “In addition, we
want them to know the center staff, be connected to us and know other student
veterans.”
The agenda includes:
• Dinner from 5 to 5:30 p.m.
• Welcome, introduction of staff and center’s mission, led
by Keith M. Huber, senior adviser
for veterans and leadership initiatives and retired U.S. Army lieutenant
general.
• Veterans’ introductions.
• Current center programs and fall semester events, led by
Miller.
• MTSU and the veterans’ relationship, led by Dr. Derek Frisby,
veteran, MTSU alumnus and faculty member in the Global
Studies and Cultural Geography program in the College of Liberal Arts.
• Discovering campus resources (includes tours and
information about G.I. Bill, VetSuccess on Campus, tutoring and more).
• College challenge from Miller, emphasizing graduation and
employment expectations.
