“Being in the military isn’t just a job. It requires sacrifice and commitment,” said Summer Farrimond, veteran service coordinator at OSUIT. “These individuals willingly put themselves in challenging situations, mentally and physically, often with low pay and the awareness that their lives could be at risk. I believe that dedication deserves respect and only the best support and services in return. At OSUIT, we provide just that.”
