Military & Veteran Student Testimonies
Chris Ellis, U.S. Army Veteran
"I was in the Army for 14 years and had been deployed to both Iraq and Kuwait. During my time here at JBU, I have grown stronger in my faith, and the professors have been very accommodating to my needs. I would encourage veterans--or anyone looking to pursue a degree--to seriously consider JBU."
