West Chester University (WCU) and the Greg and Sandra Weisenstein Veterans Center have been honored for exceptional service to veterans. On Dec. 15, Col. Joseph Kirlin, Pennsylvania department commander of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Military Order of World Wars (MOWW), presented the Bronze Patrick Henry Award to Vince DeMarro, the university's VA school certifying official and a retired U.S. Marine Corps veteran, as well as a WCU alumnus.

The award recognizes WCU's status as a Gold Designated Military Friendly University for 2021-22 as well as for service to veterans. The Veterans Center is committed to facilitating communication among WCU's campus offices in order to serve student veterans, military service members, reservists, and their families with a coordinated system of service to provide a meaningful transition from the military to WCU.
