Marywood University to Host Veteran Services Fair

Published

Marywood University will host a Veteran Services Fair and Guest Speaker Presentation on Friday, February 20, 2026, bringing together veterans, service members, students, families, and community members for a morning focused on connection, transition support, and access to critical resources. Open to veterans, currently serving service members, students, families, and the broader community, this event underscores Marywood University’s ongoing commitment to supporting those who have served and strengthening partnerships with organizations
dedicated to veteran well-being.


Organized by Marywood University's Office of Military & Veteran Services, the program will take place in the Nazareth Student Center, beginning with a Veteran Services Fair from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the Fireplace Lounge. Brigadier General (PA) Keith Graham, Executive Director of Veterans Programs and Services for the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA), will deliver the keynote presentation from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the Upper Main Dining Room. General Graham oversees outreach and support for over 640,000 veterans in Pennsylvania. The Veteran Services Fair will feature resource tables staffed by regional veteran service organizations offering information, referrals, and one-on-one guidance on a wide range of supports, including education, employment, benefits, health services, and community programs. The keynote presentation will address the challenges veterans often face during the transition from military to civilian life, the importance of early engagement with support services, and the role institutions and communities play in ensuring long-term success.
According to Bronson Cass, Military & Veteran Specialist in Marywood University’s Office of Military and Veteran Services early access to trusted resources can be life changing. “Early connection to the right resources can change the trajectory of a veteran’s transition,” Cass said. “This event is about building a strong, visible network of care—together—so no veteran or family member feels they have to navigate
this journey alone.” Cass said. Community members are encouraged to attend, ask questions, meet service providers, and bring family
members or friends who may benefit from the information shared. By fostering early awareness and connection, the University aims to help veterans and their families access the tools and relationships they need to thrive.
