When U.S. Army veteran Philip Parsons completed his service in 2010, he had no high school diploma and couldn’t see a way to a better future.
That changed the day he saw a card for Western Kentucky University’s Veterans Upward Bound program while visiting an unemployment center.
Now, after graduating in May with his master’s degree in social work, Parsons is a licensed clinical social worker. He was one of many program supporters attending a dinner Friday to celebrate the program’s 25th anniversary.
