Major Lawrence Miller Military Community Advocate Program
Through the Major Lawrence Miller Military Community Advocate (MCA) Program, many of Ohio State’s top military connected students are continuing their personal service or sharing their ability to serve by contributing to the university. The MCA Program is a vital part of the effort to help connect military students to resources and experiences that will ensure our students accomplish their new mission—academic and professional success.
Candidates for these MCA roles must demonstrate leadership qualities, maintain their academic performance and have a plan to be effective and impactful in critical areas of need for veteran students. Each MCA member is then assigned to an office throughout Ohio State that serve and interact with military connected students (active duty, guard, reserve, veteran, ROTC and military dependents) on a regular basis. This program is available in Columbus and at our five regional campuses.
The MCA role is twofold. First, help your designated office understand the challenges facing military connected students at Ohio State and develop specific plans to improve interaction between the two. Also develop programs that serve as outreach to fellow military students, the campus population at large and the surrounding Columbus community.
