Williams is a Marine Corps veteran, who despite being a master’s student, dedicated family man, and working 25 hours per week, volunteers for a number of organizations that support veterans and his community. He is involved in the UNLV Chapter of Student Veterans of America where he serves as the special projects officer working on the next Operation Battle Born event and was elected to be the treasurer. As a member of the University of Michigan’s Peer Advisors for Veterans Education (PAVE) program, he has helped coordinate the training for the UNLV team, tracks contact with the 500 student veterans they assist per semester, and reports the information back to PAVE. Williams can also often be found working every UNLV Transfer Student Orientation and National Guard benefit briefing where much of the audience is service members transitioning to student veterans. During these presentations, he details his own transition helping to reduce the anxiety associated with transition from the military. With all of these activities, he still finds ways to volunteer with the Three Square Food Bank, Share Village, Adopt–a-Cop, and the United Way of Southern Nevada.
