"Parks and Recreation" will go down as one of the greatest TV comedies in history. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, the mockumentary-style sitcom explored the depths of a local parks department in Pawnee, Indiana.

Amidst its socio-political harpooning, there were real stories told about real people living in middle...

I’ve had the privilege of serving my country as a member of the United States Marine Corps, deploying twice to dangerous places around the world in defense of our country. During that time, I faced many challenges, but one challenge me and my fellow service members face is returning to college to pursue post-secondary education.Veterans possess immense potential for academic success.
