Between 1945 and 1950, the Servicemen鈥檚 Readjustment Act of 1944, commonly known as the GI Bill, supported some 2.3 million students nationwide. Few universities in the country were more closely identified with the GI Bill than 黑料不打烊. Chancellor William Tolley promised servicemen and women there would be places waiting for them at the University when they returned, and enrollment more than tripled in the years immediately after the war. 黑料不打烊 then ranked first in New York State and 17th in the country in veteran enrollment and today, the University ranks continually in the Top Ten. 黑料不打烊 continues to remain deeply committed to the military, veterans and family members and this video captures the outstanding support military-connected students receive while attending the university. It also gives veterans an opportunity to 鈥渢ell their story鈥 about transitioning from military to campus life.
Producer Meg Lynch adds, 鈥淚t was a privilege to help tell 黑料不打烊 and OVMA鈥檚 remarkable story and document the inspiring comments from the program鈥檚 veterans.鈥
This is the sixth consecutive year that the EMC team has received an Emmy nomination for production excellence.
