“Women Veterans Returning Home”
Tuesday, April 13th, from 5:00 -6:30 PM
Nebraska Union Auditorium, UNL City Campus
This event is free and open to students, staff, faculty, and community members.
With continued deployment of U.S. troops abroad, the over 200,000 women serving in the armed forces continue to play a vital role in all military operations. However, the service and achievements of women in the military have often gone unrecognized or unreported, and servicewomen do experience specific challenges both while serving and in the transition to civilian life. Genevieve Chase – Executive Director of American Women Veterans and a veteran of the war in Afghanistan – will speak about service in the military, policies that affect women veterans, women in the Veterans Health Administration system, and other issues of importance to women veterans and their families.
This event is co-sponsored by the University of Nebraska Student Veterans Organization, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Women’s Center, the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Arts and Sciences through the Thomas C. Sorensen Policy Seminar Series. A flyer for the event is available here.
