Faculty and staff honors:

- Teresa Harris, veterans certifying official in Purdue’s Veterans Success Center, recently was elected as a Region V delegate for the National Association of Veterans’ Program Administrators (NAVPA) board of directors. Founded in 1975, NAVPA is a recognized organization of program administrators who work for universities, colleges, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs to ensure that student veterans are provided the best service and most accurate access to their GI Bill benefits. Although the primary mission of NAVPA is education, the organization also addresses other areas of interest and opportunity for veterans, as well as professional development for its members. The NAVPA Board of Directors works in concert with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, Department of Education, and Department of Defense, to promote the improvement and development of all educational opportunities to active duty personnel, veterans, and their dependents. As a member of the NAVPA Board of Directors, Harris will be in direct contact with these federal agencies. She will also have input to the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate Veterans Affairs Committees, the American Association of College and University Business Officers, and other national and regional professional organizations concerning NAVPA’s mission.
