2015 Veterans Professional Career Conference, Golden Gate University School Of Law

Veterans Legal Advocacy Center

Golden Gate University’s focus on the need for veteran advocacy and professional development programs began in 2012, after GGU Law’s Dean Rachel Van Cleave lost her friend, late Ambassador Christopher Stevens, in Benghazi.
