Saint Robert, Mo., July 28, 2023 – Drury University will host a Veterans Benefits Workshop on Tuesday, August 1 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the St. Robert VFW Post 3176 (17305 Superior Road, Saint Robert, Missouri 65584).
Military members, veterans and their families are invited to come learn about veteran’s education programs and how best to utilize them. Drury’s Military and Veteran Benefits Coordinator, Kristina Smith will speak at the event and be available for any questions from attendees.
“I have a long history and passion for helping military veterans get their education. Education empowers individuals and opens doors to countless opportunities. At Drury, we are dedicated to supporting veterans and their families, helping them make the most of their benefits and achieve their educational goals,” said Smith.
As a military spouse and a multiple-generation military family member, Smith holds a unique perspective on military benefits. Her work with the VA to certify benefits has given her an in-depth understanding of regulations and laws governing the programs. Additionally, as someone who also certifies benefits for members of her own family – her husband, brother, father, and children – Kristina is intimately familiar with the challenges and rewards of pursuing education within the military community.
Drury GO is currently enrolling for fall classes at Drury.edu/Go/.
For more information about the event, please contact Kristina Smith at (417) 873-6665, ksmith073@drury.edu or stop by the Drury GO Saint Robert (194 Eastlawn Avenue Suite C, St. Robert, MO 65584).
