Hello everyone! Welcome back to a brand new
academic year. I am confident that everyone received
a most deserving break during the summer, and that
everyone had a safe and enjoyable summer break. A
vast and tremendous shout out to our new student
veterans/dependents this fall. There are 125 new
student veterans/dependents this fall using their VA
educational benefits. On behalf of the CBU veterans’
community, we all welcome each and every one of
you to Lancer nation.
As we welcome our newest Lancers on campus, we
also have to bid farewell to our recent summer
graduates. Twenty student veterans/dependents
received their Bachelors and Master’s degree this
summer. Names and their respective disciplines are
featured in this month’s newsletter. With these newest
graduates, a total of seventy-nine student
veterans/dependents graduated during the 2018-2019
academic year. Congratulations to all!
Television network CBS has invited again CBU
student veterans to attend the taping of the “The Price
is Right” Veterans Day special on 15 September 2019.
Fifteen student veterans attended the taping. Although
none of them were called on stage, all of them
received a consolation prize.
The month of September is a busy month. With the
start of the school year, moving into your new
dorm/apartment, meeting your new professors and
classmates, is just the start. Stay tuned for all the
events happening on campus this semester. Just to
name a few: club fair, parent day and homecoming
weekend, Veterans Day, and a lot more.
Shout out to the US Air Force on their 72nd birthday
on 18 September 2019. To celebrate this monumental
occasion, the VRC invited the CBU
veterans/dependents community. Traditionally, the
most senior and junior member of the branch cuts the
official cake. Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Smith,
Commander of the US Air Force ROTC at California
State University San Bernardino, and Dean Barnett,
Air Force Veteran and an Aerospace Engineer major,
served as the senior and junior member.
Priority registration for traditional undergraduate
students is coming. I will send out the dates once it
becomes official.
