Cervantes to Chair Legislative Hearing on Supporting our Student Veterans

For immediate release:

(SACRAMENTO) – On Wednesday, October 25th at 1:30 PM, Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes (D-Corona) will chair a field hearing of the Assembly Select Committee on Veteran Employment & Education at Norco College in Norco, California.

The hearing will explore expanding employment and educational opportunities for our student veterans at our community colleges.

The hearing will be followed by the unveiling of the future site of a new Veterans Resource Center that will continue to make Norco College a nationwide example for supporting our student veterans.
