On this episode, Sam sits down with Lt. Col. (Ret.) Elizabeth Barrs, a former Army intelligence officer who served tours in Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the White House Situation Room. She has taught Veterans Studies at EKU since 2013, and her leadership inside and outside the classroom helped EKU Online spread Veterans Studies across the globe. Liz and Sam compare academic and military institutions. Liz discusses her views on the emerging field of Veterans Studies, her perspective about how our program has grown since its inception, and how her military career influences her teaching.
