With Linfield’s financial efforts, Tyler Bergeron '21 has been able to live out the four years of college he worked for as a United States Marine. “I’m very fortunate and grateful that Linfield is a yellow ribbon school,” he says. “Without that, I wouldn’t have been able to come back.”

While military service affords many the opportunity for higher education, veterans say they often struggle to access resources and find a community on campus. Linfield President Miles K. Davis, a U.S. Navy veteran himself, understands how important it is to extend a hand to students and potential students who might arrive with life experiences very different from an 18-year-old high school graduate.
