2 Director s Corner. As a nation, we are embarking on a new era of returning war veterans with markedly different life situations than their predecessors. An increase in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and amputations appear to be at the tip of the disabilities ice berg barrier to a college Bruce Steele education for these veterans. The VUB project is a college preparatory program to meet the academic challenges of our new veterans. Courses include basic math skills, English and writing, and study skills. During this summer there is a scheduled refresher Biology and lab survey course. In addition, on-going academic guidance is offered for those who are unsure of their education goals. VUB staff members are committed to help veterans succeed in the first semesters at colleges and universities of their choice. Examples of that commitment may be found in this issue of the Observation Post.

3 Microbiology student receives VUB Achievement Award Lisa Mowry was a recipient of a VUB Achievement Award at the recent TRIO Days celebration at North Dakota State University. Mowry, who is a microbiology major, spoke about what the program meant to her. I was born in Angeles City, Philippines. A few years after my family came to America, we received our citizenship. At 18, I joined the US Army as an intelligence analyst. My father always wanted me to go to college; so when I signed up he made sure that I didn t take the sign on bonus instead of the college fund. At that time in my life college wasn t even a thought but my father wouldn t leave it alone. I picked the college fund. While in the Army I met my husband Danny. Shortly after we left the Army, we moved to Maryland and found out we were expecting our first son. We were young and didn t think ahead about insurance or savings. Living in the most expensive county in Maryland, our money was leaving quicker than it was coming in. We decided to move to Fargo, ND, where Danny s parents lived, in hopes of receiving financial and child care help. Once here, we realized something in our lives had to be stable, so I searched for a job. This lasted months because I was either over qualified or under qualified. That s when I considered using my college fund. I called NDSU to set up an appointment so I could start college right away. The VA benefits guy sat me down and his first question was Do you feel you are ready to jump into school right away, because we have a refresher course for veterans wanting to go back to school. That s when I began the admission process into the Veteran s Upward Bound Program (VUB). I was able to study English and Math at my own pace and if I had a problem or question there was always someone there to help. I stayed in the VUB program for one semester. I was scared of college. A fellow VUB student and Peggy, the head teacher at VUB held my hand and brought me to Admissions. They allowed me time to do some research, which didn t help my fear of college. With encouragement from everyone at VUB, I was able to overcome my fear and start the application process for attending school at NDSU. Now I am a sophomore majoring in Microbiology with minors in Biotechnology, Chemistry and Japanese. College isn t easy and I ve had help from other programs that TRIO offers such as tutoring from Student Support Services (SSS). I know that I would not be where I am today without the aide of the TRIO Programs and the people in them. I know now that I don t have to settle with my life. I plan on going to graduate school in pursuit of a doctorate degree. I hope to be working for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I hope that these programs continue and are able to help others like me who just didn t know what to do or where to begin. Award recipient speaks VUB lead instructor Peggy Rasch waits on stage while Lisa Mowry completes her speech following receiving the VUB Achievers Award. Mowry is majoring in microbiology. Page 3

4 Hagberg receives award at Trio Day Banquet Dave Hagberg was recognized with a VUB Achievers Award during the recent TRIO Day banquet. Hagberg, is currently studying Range S c i e n c e s a t N D S U. Before he came to Veterans Upward Bound, he was a welder, a job he felt was not suited to him. When he decided to go back to college, he was told about the VUB program at North Dakota State University. He found VUB to be a great plus for him. The program helped him learn how to study, and helped him catch up in subjects like math, English, science and computer. Without the use of this program, Hagberg said, I feel I would have been at a real loss when re-entering school again. I feel strongly that the Veterans Upward Bound project helped me to prepare for my academic life. My plan for the future and my major are in the Natural Resources Management area, he continued. I would greatly enjoy having a job working with wildlife and plants. Survey of general biology course offered this summer Commencing on May 13th and continuing until June 19th, VUB will be offering a basic biology course to its students. Lasting six weeks, the course, taught by Carrie Leopold, will explore preliminary biology. In addition to the lecture and discussion period, a lab will be included in the twohour class. Trio Day Banquet features POW/MIA Honors Table (The following POW/MIA Honors Table information was taken from At the recent NDSU Trio Day Banquet, a POW/MIA Honors Table (above) was situated near the stage. The military is full of symbolism and this is our acknowledgement of comrades who are missing from our midst. The table is small, symbolizing the frailty of one prisoner alone against harsh oppressors. The tablecloth is white, symbolizing the purity of their intentions to respond to their country s call to arms. A single rose displayed in a vase reminds us of families and loved ones who remain deep in the faith of their return. A yellow and black ribbon on the vase is reminiscent of the yellow and black ribbons worn upon the lapel of thousands who bear witness to their unyielding determination to demand a proper accounting of our missing. A lemon slice reminds us of their bitter fate. Salt is symbolic of the families tears as they wait. An inverted glass is for the toast they cannot give today. The chair is empty because t h e y a r e n o t t h e r e. Remember, all who have served with them and called them comrades, who depended upon their might and aid and relied on them. They have not forsaken you. Page 4
