On September 19, The Women Veterans Civic Leadership Institute kicked off its Fall Civic Leadership Lecture Series with a powerful welcome message by Pennsylvania State Representative Leslie Acosta (District 197), and an empowering discussion on “Advocacy: Turning Your Passion into Action” with Michelle Esser of Young Survival Coalition, and a dialogue on “Women In Public Leadership” with Philadelphia Judge Timika Lane.
To deliver the Women Veterans Civic Leadership Institute Fall Lecture Series, Women Veterans ROCK! has partnered with Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, a member of the Post-9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program, and established an enduring partnership with Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, an international sorority that works to educate the public, assist youth, provide scholarships, support organized charities, and promote legislation for social and civic change.
The Fall Lecture Series will be offered monthly on Saturdays, running from nine o’clock in the morning to four o’clock in the afternoon in Martino Hall 216 at Chestnut Hill College.

Yellow Ribbon Program
A fully qualified veteran can attend Chestnut Hill College tuition free each year. You must have 100% entitlement in order to qualify. Chestnut Hill College will provide a maximum amount that will be matched by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These funds mean that a fully qualified veteran will attend Chestnut Hill College tuition free.
Chestnut Hill’s Yellow Ribbon Program funds will be awarded to qualifying students. To be considered, qualifying students must:
- Be accepted for enrollment to a degree program or be currently enrolled in a degree program at the Chestnut Hill College; and
- Submit the Certificate of Eligibility provided to them by the VA to Chestnut Hill College’s School Certifying Official (SCO).
Recipients will be selected based upon the date by which both conditions are met.
