 <\/p>\n

This Friday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day\u2014a federal holiday observed annually to honor military veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

Nearly 400 active-duty military members, reserves, veterans, spouses and dependents are enrolled at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, which equates to approximately 3.5% of the student population.<\/p>\n

Many more work in faculty and staff roles, including Robert Dorsett, associate director of the University\u2019s Veteran and Military Affairs department, and Sam Mao, the department\u2019s veterans benefits specialist.<\/p>\n

\u201cVeterans Day is remembering all those that came before us; without them, we wouldn\u2019t be here,\u201d said Mao, who retired in 2019 after 20 years with the U.S. Marine Corps\u2014the maritime land force service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here to appreciate them and let them know they\u2019re not alone and not forgotten. It\u2019s what we call, \u2018We have your six. We\u2019ve got your back no matter what.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

To celebrate Veterans Day, Veteran and Military Affairs\u2014thanks to generous donations from partners and sponsors\u2014will host food trucks on campus from 2-6 p.m. on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to be able to provide a free meal to veterans, so we thought the best way to do that was to engage with the food trucks here in the Chattanooga community,\u201d said Dorsett, who\u2014between active duty and the reserves\u2014was a Marine from 2006-2013. \u201cIt\u2019s a way to reach out to not only our veterans on campus but to the veterans within the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorsett started at UTC this fall after spending his post-Marines career with several different higher ed institutions in Arizona, beginning with his own educational pursuits at Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale, Arizona.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe passion I have in working in this field is remembering that I struggled a lot transitioning out of the military and connecting with others,\u201d Dorsett said. \u201cI felt really alone; I just went to class and went home and it affected my grades. Although I studied hard, there\u2019s always a benefit to connecting with other students in the class or on campus to help bridge that understanding of course materials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe driving factor for my passion is to help create events where they can network with other veteran students and all other students and become engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorsett said one of the main benefits Veteran and Military Affairs offers are connections to the different resources available both on campus and in the community\u2014citing partnerships with organizations like the Chattanooga Vet Center, the Hamilton County Veteran Service Commission and the Tennessee Department of Veterans Services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re also here to help guide them in how to start their education,\u201d he said. \u201cI remember how difficult it was when I first got out. Even sitting in the classroom was sometimes difficult; I would see other students listening to their headphones or falling asleep in class. Coming from the Marine Corps, when you\u2019re in training or in a lesson like that, you\u2019re always engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Sam

Sam Mao<\/p><\/div>\n

Mao first came to UTC as a student following his military career and earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in health and human performance in 2021. Along with his Veteran and Military Affairs duties, he is a reservist in the disaster security operations branch of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, better known as FEMA.<\/p>\n

In his UTC role, Mao works with any student who uses a Department of Veterans Affairs benefit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in their shoes,\u201d Mao said. \u201cI spent 20 years in the military. I started off as very entry-level and worked to be a chief warrant officer. I went from being told to do everything to the person supervising and planning everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mao talked about working with students in different life and military career stages. Those in the National Guard, he said, are reservists; they haven\u2019t experienced full military duties yet.<\/p>\n

Those with four to eight years in the military better understand the services he provides, he said, \u201cand the ones that are retired\u2014that\u2019s a totally different generation. I can speak to them and guide them through the whole process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what I bring to the table. Like I said, I\u2019ve been there from the bottom, and I\u2019ve been in a position where I can make decisions based on what\u2019s required of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

UTC Veterans Day events include the annual TAPS Project, a moving musical event in which the melody of \u201cTaps\u201d will slowly make its way across campus thanks to the strategic placement of trumpet players around University grounds.<\/p>\n

The TAPS Project starts at 9:45 a.m. and will feature approximately 30 trumpeters, including UTC students, faculty and community members.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Chancellor\u2019s Annual Veterans Day Luncheon for students, faculty and staff who are veterans or active military will take place at 11 a.m. at the University Center Tennessee Room. UC Foundation Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering Don Reising, who served in the U.S. Army from 1995-1999 and the Ohio Army National Guard from 1999-2005, will be the keynote speaker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
