Saluting a Veteran Reader

Posted by: John A. Byrne on October 06

1006_andrew_rinehart.jpgBusinessWeek reader Andy Rinehart is a proud U.S. veteran who’s eager to apply his military experience to business. The Operation Iraqi Freedom vet, currently one of two first-year MBA students at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, suggested that we look at “what combat veterans bring to an MBA program.” Alison Damast, a staff writer on our b-schools’ team, was happy to oblige, particularly with the Yellow Ribbon program, a new U.S. package of benefits for returning GIs, offering an added incentive for higher education to welcome more combat veterans. Please check out the resulting story, Why Veterans Are Saluting Business Schools, and take a moment to post your own story idea here on a topic you’d like to see us cover. And thank you, Andy, for your service to America and your commitment to the BusinessWeek community.
