    Connect with Chris

    Chris Bowers doesn’t just understand the veteran experience at Washburn University – he has lived it. After his third enlistment in the U.S. Army, Bowers retired from military service in 2010 before deciding to pursue a degree in history at Washburn.

    Bowers is the Military Transition Coordinator for Washburn and Washburn Tech, serving as the first point of contact for all new veterans who choose to enroll.

    Contact Chris as 785.670.1983 or email chris.bowers@washburn.edu.

    Waiting for Benefits?
