It does not go unnoticed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allgood recognized the Chattanooga community overall\u2014and the UTC campus in particular\u2014for the reception he has received since arriving at the University in July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot all universities across the country are as veteran-friendly and welcoming as Chattanooga has been and the University has been,\u201d he said. \u201cI thank you for welcoming me and my family with open arms\u2014and all the other veterans in the community. I know that at every event we go to we are welcomed and warmly received, and that means a lot to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UTC Director of Veteran and Military Affairs Sylvana Matthews introduced the luncheon\u2019s keynote speaker, <a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/11\/from-military-service-to-university-service-reising-continues-to-rise-to-the-challenge\/\"><strong>UC Foundation Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering Don Reising<\/strong><\/a>, who served in the U.S. Army from 1995-1999 and the Ohio Army National Guard from 1999-2005.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only has Dr. Reising earned admiration within his college, across the University and within his field internationally for his significant research and excellent teaching,\u201d Matthews said, \u201cbut the very qualities of diligence, excellence and servant leadership that are evident as you read his military bio have been clearly present throughout his tenure here in Chattanooga.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reising, who enlisted in the U.S. Army out of high school and rose to sergeant first class, wove the story of how military service impacted his life throughout this talk.<\/p>\n<p>Being in the Army \u201cexposed me to communications for the first time,\u201d said Reising, who received bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s and doctoral degrees in electrical engineering. \u201cI thought it was really cool that I could be sitting in the middle of the woods, get on a satellite phone and talk to somebody else across the satellite and have a conversation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was my introduction to communications, which is what I studied as a graduate student and what I teach and research here at UTC.

That is a huge privilege. You\u2019re responsible for them; you\u2019re responsible for their training; you\u2019re responsible for their wellbeing and their care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow many companies and organizations would take a 22-year-old kid with a high school education and put them in command for the divisions?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said a lot of what he learned from developing and seeing how training was put together and executed in the military is used today in his work as a professor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an educator, I have to plan my lessons and then I have to execute those lessons much the same way. So something that I did in Kuwait in 2003 still impacts me today,\u201d Reising said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Army taught me discipline, it taught me perseverance, it taught me to be a leader\u2014all skills that I\u2019m grateful for. Every veteran, every service member in this room has their own story that\u2019s unique to them, and it\u2019s shaped who they are and given them opportunities and chances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other highlights of the luncheon included the performance of the national anthem by Dr. Gretchen Potts, UC Foundation Professor of Chemistry and the department head for Biology, Geology and Environmental Science, and a special <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qovf.org\/\"><strong>Quilts of Valor Foundation<\/strong><\/a> presentation by Fran Randolph.<\/p>\n<p>Randolph said Quilts of Valor\u2019s mission is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing quilts.
