Create - Pat Beckwith

Today we talk with Pat Beckwith, Military and Veteran Services Director at the University of Montana. If you're a veteran looking to start college for the first time or go back to college for continued education, either to finish up a degree or pursue a master's degree, this is the episode for you.

There's so much to know, and fortunately, Pat knows so much about both serving in the military and also using his educational benefits to earn advanced degrees. We talk about how the University of Montana stands out in their commitment to supporting veterans in Montana and nationally. We talk about the benefit you didn't know existed and takes 15 seconds to qualify for. Lastly, we compare Will Farrel in the movie Elf to sitting down in a general studies course as a non-traditional student. You'll have to listen to hear how that one turns out!
