Greg Eisenbarth, Executive Director of MilitaryMBA.com, will present on the benefits of a “Military MBA” while Terri Hernandez from the University of Louisville will discuss “An Update to Active Duty Tuition Assistance Rates.”
A panel of Tillman Scholars will feature an exchange between students from Arizona State University while Charles B. Reed, Chancellor of the California State University system, is slated to welcome attendees to explore the campuses of Cal State at the free online college admissions event.

CollegeWeekLive MILITARY STUDENT DAY provides a valuable alternative for current military personnel on bases around the world for whom it may be challenging or impossible to tour colleges.
“Veterans may find it difficult to learn about the benefits available to them and their family.” – Robert Rosenbloom President CEO CollegeWeekLive
“We hope that CollegeWeekLive MILITARY STUDENT DAY will help them learn about the college application process, chat live with admissions reps at schools of interest and also learn firsthand how other veterans have successfully transitioned to life on campus,” he said.
Admissions representatives from sixty colleges, ranging from Ivy League institutions including Dartmouth College and Princeton University to state schools such as Arizona State and Washington State and the California State system to private universities such as Drexel University and Duquesne University will be available to meet live online with those who login on December 1st.
