AU SEEKING TO HONOR VETERAN STUDENTS AND ALUMNI ON NEW “WALL OF HONOR”

Take one step inside of “The Jack” and you will find that Ashland University serves our militaryconnected students with the honor and respect they deserve.

Established in 2020, the Jack W. Liebert Military and Veteran Resource Center is a relatively new focal point of the AU campus. Known as “The Jack,” this facility was designed exclusively for military-connected and veteran students.

“The Jack” is a central hub for anything a military-connected or veteran student may need. This beautiful center houses military student service offices, access to academic and mental health counseling services, a USO-style lounge, study spaces, recreation spaces and communal areas. It provides access and assistance for such students as they transition into college life and prepares them for a successful future.

AU President Carlos Campo said, “We are proud to be among the universities in Ohio to have received the ‘Purple Star’ designation for our commitment to military-affiliated students and families. From our perspective, those who have served in the military are truly American heroes, and we are privileged to honor them as we serve their academic and co-academic needs.”

Visitors to “The Jack” will see the prominently featured “Wall of Honor,” a dedicated space to honor AU’s veterans, both current students and alumni. It is the hope of Ashland University to honor every veteran student and alumnus, and this is where we need your help. If you are a veteran or a family member of a deceased service member, we would love to put your picture, along with your service information, up on our wall. Please submit your information at https://forms.gle/GcnBGSmWkFXbdpeL6 or contact Chelsea Weiler at cweiler@ashland. edu, so that we can make sure you or your loved one is honored in “The Jack.”
