Dr. Dustin Lange, author of Camo to Career and contributing author of Camouflage to Campus, has just co-founded CAMPMACKALL.
CAMPMACKALL was founded and spearheaded by local veterans that understand the importance of having a professional mentor to not only guide you to the next stage in your career path, but also to succeed in your long-term career. The program is available to veterans who have honorably served in the military since 2001 and are currently attending a post-secondary educational institution in Champaign-Urbana. Participation includes a competitive application and interview process to fill the 15 available spots.
The program’s name refers to Camp Mackall – an active U.S. Army training facility that has served as the primary training grounds for future U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers (Green Berets). Special Forces candidates are trained and mentored by the most experienced and knowledgeable Green Berets in the force, and the skills learned and experience gained serve as a foundation for your time in the Special Forces. CAMPMACKALL was formed with the same structure in mind. They conncect post-9/11 military Veterans with business and community leaders who serve as a catlyst for what’s next.
