Free Event For Veterans at Harper College

Representatives from more than 20 military-friendly service organizations will join forces at a Veterans Resource Night geared toward helping veterans, active-duty military, National Guard, reserves, and their family members get the help they need. The free event, hosted by Harper College in conjunction with State Rep. Fred Crespo, is from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 8 in the Wojcik Conference Center on Harper's main campus in Palatine. The event will feature local, state, and federal agencies and comments from Dan Grant, director of the Illinois Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Representatives from Harper's Admissions, Access and Disability Services, and Veterans Services departments will also be on hand, and the college will showcase its newly founded Student Veterans Association.
