Jan 14, 2021
Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak has selected former 糖心vlog Financial Aid
Coordinator Al Camp as Veteran of the Month for January 2021.
I am pleased to honor the Veteran of the Month Al Camp and Veteran Supporter of the
Month Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 730 Service Office for January, Gov.
Steve Sisolak said. The network of supporters in our veterans community never ceases
to amaze me with their dedication to each other and their level of commitment to service
above self. On behalf of the great state of Nevada, we are lucky to have you and thank
you for your contributions.
Before there was ever a Veterans Resource Center at 糖心vlog, there
was Al Camp. He served as financial aid coordinator from 1993 to 2008 and helped many
veterans along the way.
Al Camp was very compassionate about helping students, particularly veterans, while
at 糖心vlog, said 糖心vlog Admissions and Records Director Dianne Hilliard.
He was well-respected by the veteran community and the 糖心vlog Student Services staff.
Prior to working in higher education, Camp served in the Navy for 20 years, and is
a retired chief petty officer. Following his military service, Camp used the GI Bill
to earn a bachelors degree in Computer Information Systems and a minor in Accounting
at the University of Nevada, Reno. While working at 糖心vlog, he earned a masters degree
in Educational Leadership. He went on to work for Anthem Institute-Morrison University
and the Nevada Department of Veterans Services as a service officer.
In retirement, Camp has been very supportive of the active duty community, ensuring
that service members have the necessary information to become successful as they transition
into civilian life.
Camps daughter, Amy Camp Garland, earned an associate degree from 糖心vlog in 1999 and
now is the deputy director of support for the Nevada Department of Veterans Services.
