Veterans day is approaching, and we want to take this opportunity to share and celebrate the experiences of all who serve (before or after their time in PoE programs). Last year we put an open call out to students and alumni to share either their own, or their family’s experience serving. [read last year’s profiles] We are broadly defining the community here, so we want to hear from you even if you aren’t a veteran, but have experience or family experience with the armed services.

I’d love to do the same thing this year. If you are interested, please send individual messages to my e-mail account (don’t respond to this message) at jkob@uw.edu. Sending any profile info and/or pictures (which are welcome and appreciated!) should be sent with the understanding that we are sharing your writing and status as a UW Environmental Studies student with the public (via a Tumblr blog and simultaneous postings on twitter and our Facebook page).
