About the hosts:
William & Mary lies at the center of a national security hub — from Hampton Roads to Washington, D.C., the region is home to major military commands from all service branches, including nearly 100,000 active-duty and more than 500,000 veteran personnel, the highest concentration on the East Coast.
The Veteran-to-Executive Transition program (VET) supports W&M’s veteran and active-duty students to help those who serve our country transition successfully into the civilian workforce. Along with partners within W&M's schools and units, the W&M VET team includes the Center for Military Transition, Office of Student Veteran Engagement, and Whole of Government Center of Excellence.
The Association of 1775, an affinity group for William & Mary alumni who have previously served or are actively serving across the U.S. government, provides programming, support and resources for our broader community of active-duty service members, civil servants, and veteran alumni and students.
