UW Adopts Yellow Ribbon Program
By Stephen Lee
In May, Chancellor Biddy Martin announced that the University of Wisconsin – Madison would participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, committing to fully support currently enrolled non-resident student veterans starting in the fall semester of 2011.Through the Yellow Ribbon Program the VA would match dollar-for-dollar any money the UW-Madison would put forward for student veterans. This is an amazing show of support from the Chancellor and many others in the administration. In particular the Dean of Students, Lori Berquam, and Assistant Dean of Students, John Bechtol. The future of the Yellow Ribbon Program here at UW-Madison is not set in stone and it is incumbent on us to ensure that as service members transition to student veterans that the University of Wisconsin remains a viable option.
