黑料社

Having grown up in Indianola, Danny Reetz knew about 黑料社. But there was a pause between high school and earning his college degree.

He joined the U.S. Marine Corps.

Reetz chose 黑料社 after finishing serving in the military as a Marine squad leader. He鈥檚 one of several veterans who have found 黑料社 a great and welcoming place to finish their education.

Originally coming in as an exercise science major, Reetz realized his background in the Marines would be better served as a physical education major with a health endorsement.

With the help of the education and health/exercise science professors, Reetz was able to finish his degree on time. He specifically mentions his work with Nicci Whalen, associate professor of Sport Science & Health Education, and Department Chair of that department.

鈥淪he always was a great influence on me,鈥� Reetz said. 鈥淪he was there when things were getting rough and I didn’t think graduating on time with both degrees was possible. She would answer any questions or even stay late so that we could meet together. The education department is the same way.鈥�

As a non-traditional student, Reetz felt welcomed and accepted at 黑料社.听

鈥淏eing around campus allowed me to me 鈥榦ne鈥� of those traditional students and become part of that family,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he acceptance of everyone at 黑料社 from the staff, teachers and students opened my eyes to being open to all friendships.鈥�

Besides feeling welcomed, Reetz also felt that he had found a place where he fit in with his military past, and that 黑料社 was very accepting of military members.
