There are a lot of places for students to go on the campus of Walsh University in North Canton. Now, there is a place that is strictly for students who are veterans.
Walsh University dedicated its new veterans lounge inside the Paul and Carol David Center to former military students on Friday.
Trevor Douglas Carey served in the Navy for five years. He was stationed in Pearl Harbor and served two deployments overseas. After he left the Navy, he decided to continue his education at Walsh University.
They truly make you feel like you are part of something,” said Carey. “I think that’s very important because many veterans lose that when they leave.”
Carey says the university has given veterans like himself a lot of opportunities. “For me getting out, they really don’t tell you a whole lot when you leave,” said Carey. “They kind of just give you a piece of paper and boot you out. Having someone like our veteran coordinator here, he’s been my go-to guy for everything,” Carey said.
Now, student veterans like Trevor have another resource.
