II Henley-Putnam University announced a new contest
offering service men and women a chance to earn a

who have served this nation and know what that sacrifice
means, said Michael Corcoran, PhD, Henley-Putnam
University president and former U.S. Secret Service
agent. We are so proud of our military students. Through
this contest, we hope to give back to these brave
individuals by offering an additional opportunity for
career advancement.
