After 11 years of active duty in the U.S. Army, Beverly Wagner knows not to make assumptions about veterans. 

“Taking off the uniform means different things to different people,” said Wagner, now a reservist. “Some people want to find ways to stay connected to the community. Others want to leave their military identity behind them. My job is to listen to all veterans and support what their needs are today.”

Wagner is the new adviser at the Washington University in St. Louis Office of Military & Veteran Services in the Division of Student Affairs. She replaces the office’s founding adviser, U.S. Air Force reservist Jen Goetz, who is serving at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state.

Wagner says she is eager to meet Washington University’s veterans, active-duty and Reserve and National Guard service members as well as dependents and survivors.
