The University of La Verne celebrated Veteran’s Day Monday by announcing a $2 million donation from Sara and Michael Abraham to the Center for Veteran Students Success.
On the westbound 210 freeway in Irwindale, drivers are able to spot a billboard that claims the University of La Verne is one of the best universities for veterans. Across La Verne’s advertisements and website, it is clear that the campus prides itself in its relationship with veterans.
Robert Kehrberg, 25, an Air Force veteran who served for five years, had a “team” to depend on every day while working 12-hour shifts from midnight to noon, seven days a week. In Kuwait, from 2012-13 he was an integrated avionics systems specialist, which means he maintained and fixed planes.
The Office of Veteran Student Success serves to assist the 400 plus veteran students on campus in making the transition from military to civilian life.
