"Thiel College (https://www.thiel.edu/) offers 24/7 support for military service members and veterans. As the Thiel College veteran liaison, I take great pride in supporting military service members and veterans throughout the entire college experience from pre-enrollment to life after college," Veteran Liaison Mike Mason said.
