\"PhotoLendon Burnett is our Peer Advisor of the Month! Lendon is double majoring in Accounting and Finance, with a minor in Criminology at University of Texas at Dallas. He served 11 years active duty in the Army as an MP and Investigator and is now a Special Agent in the Reserves. Once he completes his undergraduate degrees, he plans to attend law school. Lendon says, \u201cThere were a lot of things for me that didn\u2019t go well when I transitioned, but having a PA helped.\u201d He was drawn to become a Peer Advisor, work in the Military and Veteran Center, and serve as the SVO secretary because he enjoys working with other veterans and being active in student veteran life.<\/p>\n

UT Dallas Team Leader B\u2019Jard Jones nominated Lendon: \u201cLendon has made a dynamic impact on his PAVE student veterans,\u201d adding that he\u2019s gone out of his way to represent his PAVE team at events and is \u201calways willing to put others before himself.\u201d Lendon believes that, \u201c\u201cAny time someone around you is having trouble, it\u2019s your job to pick them up and get them to the finish line.\u201d One notable instance of him going above and beyond occurred when he noticed that a fellow student veteran he\u2019d interacted with regularly stopped being as engaged and visible on campus. The student vet asked him if he knew of any counseling services, and he was able to connect them to appropriate resources on and off campus. That student vet is now on solid footing again. Way to make a difference, Lendon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
