Riverside City College VRC
Riverside City College was my first stop on the big
two-week, eight college tour. I was very fortunate that the
day I had planned to arrive was the day of the monthly Veterans
Club meeting.
Paula McCroskey, Dean, Garth Schultz, Counselor,
and Marquis Palmer, President of the Veterans Club, (below
right) made arrangements for me to sit in on the meeting and, with
everyone in agreement, I was allowed to film. Click on the
camera icon for some excerpts of that meeting.
Of note was the diversity of the members and the varied branches
of service in which they served. As it seemed everywhere, a
healthy rivalry was displayed between Army and Marine
Vets. It was clear, however, that outside of that
environment, they walked as one and that a Veteran was a Veteran,
regardless of era, regardless of branch, regardless of ability
or disability.
Interestingly enough, Riverside City College was the genesis of
this training guide, in that I attended their Veterans conference
in May 2010 and, from that experience, this module came to
be.
