Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) student Tiffany Priddy received her BS degree in Organizational Management from Roberts Wesleyan College in August. In a thank you note to VUB she wrote “I really didn’t think I would ever complete my degree until I met you all.” She added, “You all do great work, and I hope you know you are all making a difference!” The Veterans Upward Bound program provides a variety of services to help military service members who want to go back to school.
