The state of Georgia has the fifth largest military population in the United States. Because of Robins Air Force Base, our region is a temporary home to many active-duty military and their families as well as veterans who have chosen to make this region a more permanent home.
This Friday, November 11, will mark my ninth Veterans Day at Middle Georgia State University. During this time, I have witnessed first-hand the richness that veterans and military family members bring to our campus and our surrounding communities. Because of their diverse backgrounds and experiences, they serve as an example for one of MGA’s core values, adaptability.
