UHCL Veteran ‘Friendly Zone Training’
The University of Houston-Clear Lake’s Capt. Wendell M. Wilson Office of Veteran Services will be hosting UHCL Veteran Friendly Zone training. We would like to cordially invite you to join us during our next training event on November 9, 2016 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Forest Room (lunch will be provided). Special guest Major Maurice Williams, University of Houston Professor will serve as the featured guest speaker.
Attendees will receive a “UHCL Veteran Friendly Zone” decal for display in their office and faculty in attendance will also be sent the official “UHCL Veteran Friendly Zone” logo which can be used on their syllabus if they wish. Faculty and staff who attend and sign in are the only ones who are authorized to display the decal.
During this training, faculty and staff will learn about the needs and experiences of student veterans to include:
- Awareness of resources available to UHCL student veterans on and off campus
- Understanding of UHCL’s current student veteran and dependent population
- Common issues experienced by UHCL student veterans
- Effective techniques for managing classroom discussions around sensitive veteran topics
