ASU military advocate hits bull's eye for ASU's military, community members

Joanna Sweatt was a Marine Corps bulldog for nine years. Now, as ASU’s military advocate, she is sinking her teeth into making sure ASU’s student-veterans have all the help they need. Jim Carlen, ASU's certifying official at ASU West, said Sweatt is knowledgeable and will bend over backward to help anyone out.  "She’s willing to lend a hand to help out anybody — she’s just a dynamite person,” he said.  As the military advocate for ASU Sweatt is the overall ombudsman to current and prospective armed services students and dependents, according to ASU’s veteran Web page. She provides consultation, guidance, referral and advocacy services for active and veteran members of the military, along with helping students and prospective students navigate the various services provided by ASU, the Department of Veteran Affairs and other agencies. Sweatt’s military experience, transition into civilian life and time as a student at ASU give her a unique perspective and opportunity to help students in a similar situation. Sweatt served in the Marine Corps from 1998 to 2007.
