Abstract

Jonathan Talley wasn't content with merely attending Drury University on the GI Bill after serving in the army. A first‐generation nontraditional aged student, Talley certified student‐veteran enrollment for off‐campus students as part of his VA work‐study program. In his spare time, he would visit Drury's admissions and financial aid offices and ask if there was any extra work he could help pick up. There, he learned the university computer system, as well as how to write reports and navigate financial aid paperwork. “I wanted to work and stay busy and learn new things,” Talley said of his extracurricular experience working with the admissions office and financial aid, all of which came in handy once he transitioned to a position as director of Adult and Non‐Traditional Student Resources at Missouri State University.
