FSU Director of Veteran Services Elected to NAVPA Board of Directors

Dr. Clarissa Lang '06, Director of Veteran Services at Frostburg State University, was recently elected to the National Association of Veterans’ Program Administrators (NAVPA) Board of Directors as the Membership Committee co-chair and the Region II Alternate Delegate.     

 

"I am excited to be part of the NAVPA board of directors for the year 2025,” said Lang.  “During this time, I look forward to providing updates and changes for our student veterans. Our goal is to work together as a national organization to make the changes that support our positions in higher education while working with the VA.” She continued, “As Membership Co-Chair, I look forward to meeting new individuals at other colleges who will help support all student veterans by being a support system as we work together." 

The NAVPA is a recognized organization of program administrators who work for colleges and universities, trade schools and apprenticeship programs across the nation to ensure student veterans are supported.

“NAVPA would like to personally thank FSU for endorsing Dr. Lang to participate in this national organization,” said Keith Glindemann, President of NAVPA. “Not only is it beneficial for her on behalf of Frostburg State University, to stay abreast of all changes the Veterans Administration makes from year to year, but she will work on initiatives to help improve and enhance the GI Bill.”

As a member of the NAVPA Board of Directors, Lang will be connected with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, the Department of Education and the Department of Defense as well as have the opportunity to provide input to the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate Veterans Affairs Committees and other national and regional professional organizations.
