Welcome to another episode of the VET S.O.S. Veteran Educational Resources Spotlight, where we shine a light on institutions making a difference for veterans in higher education. This week, we sit down with Brian Caudill, Air Force veteran and Veteran Engagement Coordinator at Shawnee State University, for a candid and insightful discussion on what it really takes to build effective veteran support services in higher education.
Brian walks us through his personal transition story—navigating the Post-9/11 GI Bill while his spouse remained in the Air Force—and how those experiences led him to dedicate his career to helping fellow veterans find success in college. At Shawnee State, he leads efforts to provide students with not only benefits guidance but also meaningful community, comfort, and academic tools.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
The importance of veteran-led program design
Shawnee State’s fully equipped veterans’ center and student-first culture
Free services like textbook lending, tech access, and mental wellness tools
Volunteer opportunities through the Shawnee Service Corps
Why Veterans Recognition Day is more than just an event—it’s a statement of commitment
Tune in and discover how Shawnee State is setting a high standard for veteran engagement on campus—and why Brian believes no one transitions alone.
