Today Congresswoman Foxx convened a hearing with the members of the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce aimed at examining the steps which institutions of higher learning are taking to better support service members and veterans who are working to earn a post-secondary degree or learn valuable job skills.
At the University of North Carolina, a program known as the UNC Partnership for National Security has built a strong network of services for veterans. Kimrey Rinehardt, Vice President for Federal and Military Affairs at UNC, explained to the subcommittee members the specific support systems she implements to help veterans more easily transition into the University community.
