The process of applying for Chapter 31 went seamlessly and I encountered nothing but willing assistance along the way. My VA advisor has pointed me in the right direction whenever I have encountered difficulties with class selection and registration. My academic advisors check in with me on a regular basis to make sure I have all that I need to be successful in my pursuit of a Computer Science degree. Additionally, when I had a medical situation recently, all were more than supportive and allowed me time to recover and begin work in my classes as I got better.  My class instructors have been extremely helpful as well. I am currently not able to maintain a full load of classes, but there was never any discussion of me having to drop out, and I have been able to reduce my credit load to fit my situation. I have no doubt that with their continued support I will be able to fully accomplish my goal of obtaining a Computer Science degree at EOU. Much respect goes out from me to all the Veteran Advisors and Counselors who have helped me along the way.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t             <p style=\"text-align: right; margin-right: 2%;\">John Kirk, U.S. Army Veteran<br \/>Computer Science<br \/>North Bend, OR<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-2 pull-right\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/the-good-word\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/215\/files\/2020\/04\/John-Kirk-150x150.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n        \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC_4418.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC_4418.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC_4418-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/eou_cybersecurity_image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/eou_cybersecurity_image.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/eou_cybersecurity_image-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/eou_cybersecurity_image-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC_3861.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC_3861.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.eou.edu\/computer-science\/files\/2024\/05\/DSC_3861-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students in the Computer Science program prepare for a future in software development to solve the complex problems faced by 21st Century America.
