Army Partners With KU for the Wounded
Army News Service | February 07, 2008

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. - The Army and the University of Kansas struck up a partnership that will allow wounded Soldiers to earn a master's degree at the school and to apply what they have learned inside the Army's own academic community.

Secretary of the Army Pete Geren and Chancellor Robert Hemenway of the University of Kansas announced the "Wounded Warrior Education Initiative" today on the campus of the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth.

"There's so much pent-up generosity out there in the American public," Secretary Geren said.

"Americans want to step up and do something for our Soldiers."

"And Chancellor Robert Hemenway had a good idea - let's develop this partnership, to help Soldiers that want to continue their education. Let's figure out a way to make this work to help these Soldiers continue professionally, to pursue their professional and educational dreams."
