Veteran Leadership
When veteran students take the stage to receive their diplomas at National College campus graduation ceremonies this May they will be wearing a new red, white, and blue cord that distinguishes them as having served their country. Robert Robbins, a U.S. Army veteran, will be particularly proud to wear the cords because they are one of many programs to support veterans that he has initiated as founder and president of the Operation NC Eagle Alliance (ONCEA) military student group at the Danville, Kentucky Campus.
“When I founded the veterans organization at National College, I was going through ideas in my head of how to thank my fellow veterans, especially within the school,” explained Robert, who founded the organization in 2010. “Graduation would be the last time of being able to thank them or showcase them to our community and our National College family. You have cords for everything—cords for high honors, a sash for an associate’s degree, a pin if you’re medical, but we had nothing for if you were a veteran. It’s a way of showing respect.”
Brad Marine, Regional Director of Military Affairs, said that Robert has become a strong advocate for military students at National and that the cords will be appreciated by the veteran students. “There is a long tradition of cords in the military,” Brad said. “I think it’s a great idea. It’s a simple thing but it will have a significant impact.”
Robert had a very limited amount of assistance left on his GI Bill when he came to National so Brad suggested that he contact the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs to see what other program he might qualify for. He was able to qualify for assistance through the Vocational Rehabilitation Vet Success program which covered virtually all of his remaining educational expenses.
He is a business administration—accounting and management double major and will be graduating with his associate’s degree this May. He hopes to possibly find work as a veteran’s representative for the Kentucky Office of Employment and Training. He would also like to start his own photography business.
Robert said that ONCEA is a work in progress and he feels that the organization will continue to grow and evolve. The group dedicated a Veteran Wall of Honor in 2011 at the Danville Campus and ONCEA will hold a Bike Rally on June 23 in Danville. Funds raised from the rally will be used to assist veterans from the school and in the community that are in need.
“I think everybody means well but I don’t think anybody knows just what the veteran has gone through,” said Robert. “We’ve gained a lot of ground but I really want people to know, especially our younger generation, exactly what a veteran is and what he’s done for our country.”
