A Knockout Way to Help Others
Maddison Van Der Mark developed a strong sense of pride serving her community and country domestically and abroad as a sergeant in the United States Army. The challenges of adapting to civilian life, however, resulted in feelings of frustration and anger that boxing helped to reconcile. Through the Rutgers Summer Service Internship Initiative, she was able to reconnect with her community by teaching at-risk youth the sport at New Jersey Give a Kid a Dream in Long Branch, N.J.
Reminder: If you plan to transfer your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to a spouse or dependent, you must elect to do so before you leave the armed forces.
Director of the Office of Veteran and Military Programs and Services
Since joining Rutgers in 2015, Ann Treadaway, an Army veteran, has been the university’s primary advocate for student veterans, working specifically with the population at Rutgers-New Brunswick and supporting the offices that work with military-affiliated students at Rutgers–Camden and Rutgers–Newark. Her mission is to connect this population with the benefits and resources they’ve earned through their service and ensuring university policies, programs, and activities enhance their educational experiences.
