During the last two years, I have had the privilege of making many new military mom friends. I have been so inspired by these incredible women -- their flexibility, their bravery, their loyalty, their commitment and their toughness.
The time has come to rally our academic institutions to design programs that adapt to our lives rather than us trying to fit the cookie-cutter mold of traditional college students.
Over the next year, I will work to expand the career and educational opportunities for our military spouses, so that they can pursue what they are passionate about.
