Details

This year, the Ross Armed Forces Association is honored to continue our long-term strategic partnership with the Jason George Foundation. Jason was a West Point graduate and army veteran who graduated from Ross in 2004. He remained an army reservist, was called back to active duty in 2009, and deployed to Iraq. On May 21, 2009, while on patrol in Baghdad, Jason was killed by an improvised explosive device. The Jason George Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in Jason's honor and dedicated to supporting veterans, promoting civic service, and providing for the scholarship of those who serve.

Due to recruiting policies brought on by COVID-19, the JGVLS will be hosted in-person for students and virtually for sponsors. Full-time and internship seeking veterans will have the opportunity to interact with top companies for mentorship, networking, and recruiting efforts. For many MBA1s, this will be their first opportunity to interact with corporate recruiters, and companies that attend bring a lot of value in mentorship and small-group discussions.
