Celebrating Veterans 2020

Editor’s Note: By Kristen Grimmer, assistant professor of mass media

Over the past few years, I’ve had several veterans in my classes and I knew I wanted to do something to honor our veterans, but I wasn’t sure what at first. This fall in my Creative Media Writing class, I decided to put my students to work telling the important stories of our veterans on campus.

If you know of another veteran within the Washburn community we should feature, please let us know by leaving a comment in the comment section. You can also use the comments section to pay tribute to a special veteran in your life. We would love to hear from you all.

You will find features on the following veterans. I hope you enjoy their stories.
