Prof. Ben Lev leads WSP at Stanford

A summer STEM academic bootcamp for veterans helps pave a path to higher education. 

The Warrior-Scholar Project, launched in 2011, aims to remove veterans’ barriers to higher education by introducing small groups of former enlisted service members to college experiences, coaching them in the skills required to be successful students, and connecting them with other vets embarking on academic tours of duty. 

Benjamin Lev, a professor of physics and applied physics in H&S, worked with Mary Beth Mudgett, senior associate dean for the natural sciences, Susan B. Ford Professor, and a professor of biology in H&S, to bring the program to campus this year.
