West Chester University and the Greg and Sandra Weisenstein Veterans Center have been honored for exceptional service to veterans.

On Dec. 15 at the Veterans Center, Colonel Joseph Kirlin, PA Department Commander of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Military Order of World Wars (MOWW), presented the Bronze Patrick Henry award to Vince DeMarro ’90, M’99, the university’s VA School Certifying Official and a retired U.S. Marine Corps veteran.

The award recognizes the university’s status as a Gold Designated Military Friendly University 2021-2022 as well as for service to veterans.

The Veterans Center is committed to facilitating communication among our campus offices in order to serve student veterans, military service members, reservists, and their families with a coordinated system of service to provide a meaningful transition from the military to West Chester University.
