In this episode of Veterans AZ, Shawn Banzhaf and Michelle Loposky, both U.S. Army veterans, shed light on the valuable work being done at the Pat Tillman Veterans Center at Arizona State University. The Center provides essential support to active-duty, veteran, and veteran-dependent students, helping them navigate their military education benefits and fostering a sense of community through various programs and events.

The Pat Tillman Veterans Center serves as a hub where student veterans can come together, connect, and offer each other mutual support. Shawn and Michelle's military background brings a unique perspective to their roles, enhancing the assistance and understanding they provide to their fellow military learners.

Veterans AZ, a video series highlighting the stories of Arizona veterans, plays a crucial role in showcasing the organizations and programs dedicated to serving veterans in the Valley of the Sun. Produced by the City of Scottsdale as part of the Scottsdale Veterans Advisory Commission's efforts, Veterans AZ aims to raise awareness about veterans, their achievements, and the services available to those who have served in the U.S. armed forces.
