The event was led by Yolonda Williams, a U.S. Army veteran, APSU alumna and national commander of the WVA. “The last census found there were more than 6,600 women veterans that are here,” Williams said. “Through my organization, I’ve heard they want to know more about school, about the educational opportunities and the benefits that are applicable to them.”
