SJU Opens New Office of Veterans Services
Saint Joseph’s University has opened a new Office of Veterans Services to serve as a central place for student veterans to meet with trained staff for academic and specialized support. Along with meeting the needs of the University’s veteran population, the office will also offer an entrepreneurship boot camp for veterans with disabilities.
“This move is a clear indication of the priority and commitment Saint Joseph’s places on the men and women who have served our country,” says director Ralph Galati ’70 (USAF). “Veterans are a growing population with specific needs and we’re pleased to offer an office where they can access support and information.”
Galati, who spent 14 months as a POW in Vietnam, is acutely aware of the challenges veterans often face as they transition from service to citizenship.
