Whatcom's Veterans Safe Zone Program
We are pleased to inform you about our 'Veteran Safe Zone' program here at Whatcom Community College. This Program was developed at Whatcom and initiated on campus in 2008 by veterans, dependents of veterans and veteran supporters as a visible showing of our support from our faculty and staff. Any staff member that displays one of these logos on their office door or wall has made a conscious decision to provide an area and a set of ears to a veteran. These faculty and staff members are not counselors, but they are people that care about your needs. Many of these staff members are veterans themselves, some are just people who want to help and lend support in this way.
If you are having a rough day and need to vent, ask for advice, talk about school, work or prior experiences, or just need a quiet place to sit and gather your thoughts, these people have made their office a welcome place for you.
The Veterans Safe Zone Program was developed by Whatcom students and staff and was enthusiastically implemented on campus in Fall 2008. This is an ongoing commitment of support from Whatcom's faculty and staff to our veterans and current military.
Whatcom Recognizes All Who Have Served
We look forward to seeing you on our campus soon. The Veterans Office and Whatcom Community College thank you for your service and dedication. We look forward to helping you succeed and accomplish all your educational goals.
Veteran Faculty and Staff at Whatcom
Thank you for your service!
