New Start for Student Veterans Program
Thanks to the generous donation of Dr. Dennis Repp, the New Start for Student Veterans program at the Center for Community Partnerships has thrived and delivered important supportive education services to post 9/11 military veterans with service-connected injuries. On behalf of the Occupational Therapy department at Colorado State University, we thank those who served, and those who freely gave of their time to contribute to our goal of understanding and improving services for student veterans.
