The Lt. Col. Bryant A. Murray Veterans Center
This month, Excelsior introduces an online resource for veterans. Staffed by Excelsior counselors, many of whom are veterans themselves, the Murray Veterans Center offers education advisement; career counseling and job-related training; financial aid counseling; and discussion forums. All services for veterans are free. Please consider making a donation to the veterans center. It is a meaningful way to say thank-you for the sacrifices made by these brave men and women.
