Georgia Gwinnett College commemorated Veterans Day this year by opening its new Military and Veterans Success Center and remembering the college’s first director of veterans success.
Deborah Reato, who died earlier this year after a battle with cancer, had worked at the college since 2011 and was responsible for developing the office that provided support services and educational benefit programs to military service members, veterans and their dependents enrolled at Georgia Gwinnett. Reato was remembered Wednesday with an honor wall.
The new center will be a central location for service members and veterans to receive not only help with navigating the college, but also help with educational benefits and work with outside organizations and government agencies dealing with veteran issues.
Georgia Gwinnett was named a Military Friendly School for the past two years by Victory Media, honoring the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to help military service members and their spouses on campus.
