Class of 2015: Wes McReavy graduating with help from dog friend
When Wesley McReavy walks across the Georgia World Congress Center stage to accept his associate degree Friday, he will have his service dog, Kiah, by his side. The Iraq veteran, who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, credits his successful college completion to his dog’s steady companionship.
McReavy is one of more than 1,100 military veterans and their dependents who attend Georgia Perimeter every semester.
Read his story in the spring edition of Georgia Perimeter’s Chronicle magazine.
