Project Description
Military Motivation: A Story of Universal Resilience features a lecture at the IUPUI Campus Center by Captain Guy Gruters, a U.S. Air Force veteran and F-100 fighter pilot, who was a prisoner of war for five years. The presentation’s goals are multifaceted: to enhance diversity, increase military culture awareness, and promote resiliency by encouraging and motivating IUPUI students, faculty, and staff to persist when faced with challenges. Another objective is to make a connection between veteran and non-veteran community members to build understanding as well as insight into military cultural tenets. Additionally, the program is designed to promote inclusion by highlighting core humanistic values.
