U.S. Air Force veteran Christopher Stanford (sitting) of Austin, Texas gets assistance from professor Justin Webb. Stanford is among 31 veterans from across the country who have been participating this week on the OSU-Stillwater campus in the Veterans with Disabilities Entrepreneurship Program (VEP) through the OSU Spears School of Business Department of Entrepreneurship.  Designed like a military bootcamp, the program consists of a series of training modules which assist the veterans in creating and growing profitable businesses.  The program is free and gives participants a chance to receive guidance from experienced OSU faculty and successful entrepreneurs in addition to receiving 24 continuing education credits.
