Transitioning from the military to the civilian world was harder than I thought. I am grateful to have had such a supportive community at MIT Sloan to help with the transition. This article talks about the MIT Sloan Veterans Association and the camaraderie and support the club provides for its members. Very proud to go to a school that places such a high value on veterans and their experiences.
