Come Ask About Your VA Benefits

Veterans, active service members and dependents who have questions about their VA benefits can get assistance from representatives of key veterans' organizations who will be on-site at Cameron University. Veterans claims examiners from the Muskogee VA Regional Processing Office will provide personal service for those who have questions about educational benefits. They can also provide claims assistance, work on problem resolution, check individual VA educational claim benefit status and answer specific questions about educational benefit eligibility and check amounts. Representatives will also be able to assist with the Monthly Self Verification process. A veterans services counselor from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Veterans Service Center at Fort Sill will be available to discuss all other types of VA benefits, including compensation, pension and non-educational benefits. She can also provide information about the availability of benefits to active-duty military personnel who are transitioning to civilian life. Ernest Swindle II, CU's VetSuccess on Campus counselor, will be available to visit with students regarding an array of services available to those planning to use their VA educational benefits at Cameron. Swindle can answer questions about understanding and applying for educational benefits, disability compensation, life insurance, home loan guaranty and vocational rehabilitation. A programs administrator/regional manager for the Southwest Region Claims and Benefits division of the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs will be on hand to assist with claims before the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Major Exploration Fair

The CU Student Enrichment Center will host this event for all students to discover what's possible at Cameron University. What is Major Exploration? This is the process of exploring and deciding on a major. The process looks different for each student. It can be repeated at any time in a student's undergraduate career, as the student learns more about themselves and their major of interest. Major exploration is not a process of exploring careers and committing to one profession for the future. It's a nonlinear process of connecting one's knowledge of self to academic goals. This event is for students who are completely undecided (students who are still exploring all their options), those deciding (students who have narrowed down their options to a few top choices), those decided but not declared (students who have a major selected and are working toward the requirements to declare it) & those who are reconsidering (students who have a major declared but are considering a change of direction). At this event, students will have an opportunity to talk with representatives from a number of academic departments across campus at one time and in one place to learn about majors, minors, and certificates offered at Cameron University. There will be several workshops held in conjunction with the Major Exploration Fair in the Buddy Green Room: "Focus On You-Discover The Major That Fits You With Focus" at 11:15 a.m. with Isabella Myers, CCSP (Work-Based Learning Experiences Coordinator). "Hacking College-Earning Your Freshman Year For Free" at Noon with James King (Advisement Specialist). "Choose With Confidence-Declaring Your Major" at 12:45 p.m. with Colette Highsmith (Student Success Coach). "Your Major Matters-The Financial Aid Connection" at 1:30 p.m. with Francesca Morris, MHA (Financial & Community Resource Specialist).
