I am most proud of the growth we have been able to achieve in our on-campus veteran community. Every event we\u2019ve hosted has continually increased size&nbsp;\u2014 as a result of the efforts of our whole team.&nbsp;My favorite part of being a Team Leader is seeing the direct impact that our outreach through the program has had on new students. It\u2019s incredibly rewarding to see students succeed in their academic goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Bonnie Jordan, Veterans Program Coordinator, Central Oregon Community College:\u00a0&#8220;Clay exemplifies leadership and dedication in all that he does and he has carried these strengths into his role as a <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/2023\/09\/29\/september-2023-team-leader-of-the-month-clay-webster-central-oregon-community-college\/\">&#8230; Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":2192,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2191"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2191"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2191\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2193,"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2191\/revisions\/2193"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m-span.org\/pave\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
