#202: Warrior Scholarship and Transitioning into Higher Education with Ryan Pavel

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we welcome Ryan Pavel to the show. Ryan is the CEO of the Warrior-Scholar Project and the inaugural winner of the Marine Corps University Foundation’s General Alfred M. Gray National Award for Service and Education. We caught Ryan while he was in the DC area, and he was kind enough to come and talk with us about transitioning from service, particularly into higher education. Ryan discusses the challenges veterans have moving into academic spaces, from expectations to enrollment to ways of being successful. Spoiler alert: Oftentimes, properly defining what success is will enable your ability to achieve it. Ryan and the Warrior-Scholar Project help address these challenges and prepare veterans for success. Ryan’s perspectives are invaluable, and his energy is infectious. We had a lot of fun talking about this serious topic.  Enjoy!  warrior-scholar.org/apply  linkedin.com/in/ryanpavel  twobitrye.com

The Marine Corps Association is dedicated in its mission to support Today’s Marines. Our podcast, Scuttlebutt, seeks to create a forum to encourage and inspire Marines, former Marines, Marine families, and supporters of the Marine Corps to engage with issues that impact Marines and the Corps. Storytelling not only helps us unpack who we are, but brings us into conversation with the world and people around us. We will hear stories from Marines and civilians working to honor, uncover, and restore Marine Corps history, as well as from those working every day to make the world a better place.
