Five ECPI University student veterans from across Virginia had the opportunity to share their stories and experiences on Capitol Hill on March 13th. Zoell Wollin (Navy Veteran, Newport News), Starr Hernandez (Army Veteran, N. VA), Maddie Coppick (Navy Veteran, VB Campus), Alex Mayorga (USMC Reserves, Moorefield), and Tiffany Wiles (Navy Veteran & Navy Spouse, VB MCI) traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with members of Congress and their staffs, including Congresswoman Jen Kiggans.

Joshua Girardi knew he wanted to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) to advance his career as a welder and transition into leadership and engineering roles. That’s when he found ECPI University Online, which he chose because of the flexibility he needed while working and going to school full time.
