Portales, NM – October 5, 2023 – ENMU College of Business Dean Bob Schneider was named one of the 2023 Veteran Champions of the Year in Higher Education by G.I. Jobs Magazine in their magazine's fall edition.
Being named a Veteran Champion of the Year in Higher Education means that Schneider is one of the advocates who goes above and beyond to help student veterans and their families succeed in education. Schneider was among 40 Higher Education administrators recognized nationwide for being a 2023 Veteran Champion of the Year in Higher Education.
“Our veterans deserve our support. Working in a university that supports veterans is a must for me,” said Bob Schneider, Dean of ENMU College of Business. “Many of the veterans at ENMU function throughout the day without anyone even knowing they are veterans. Most will say they don’t want special treatment but pay attention to how we act and speak. Remembering that freedom isn’t free is a daily thought for every veteran.”
