There are nearly 20 million veterans living in the United States today, and for many of them the transition from military service to civilian life includes a return to the classroom. Today we're looking at how Indian River State College is reshaping that educational journey. Known locally as the River, Indian River State College has developed programs specifically designed for veteran students and military families. Effort Kathleen Walter speaks with Cam Medina, coordinator at the Veteran Center of Excellence at Indian River State College, and Dr. Calvin Williams, associate vice president of advising and career services and chief career officer. Both are veterans.
