Veterans Service Center Military Recognition Day also featured the opening of the Ousley Family Veterans Service Center, which provides a support network to facilitate the transition of veterans, military servicemembers and dependents to Columbia College and to understand and address their unique student support needs. George H. Ousley Jr. ‘78, one of mid-Missouri’s most successful businessmen, served in the Navy at the height of the Vietnam War.
His son, George H. (“Jay”) Ousley III, joined the Navy in 1985 but his life was cut tragically short by a car accident. Gregory S. (“Greg”) Ousley ‘97 began his Navy service in Orlando, Fla., and was ultimately assigned to the Moffett Field, Calif., Fighting Marlins. Greg is the fourth generation of Navy men in the family.
