“The institute has been possible becauseof grants, contracts and private funding,”Goff said. “We continue to expand, butwe’re going to continue to have that need.”Making a differenceThe philanthropic gifts offer K-Stateresearchers new opportunities to servetheir community. Military research isrewarding, said Jared Anderson, an assistantprofessor in the School of FamilyStudies and Human Services who focuseson marriages and relationships.“In many ways these individuals andfamilies sacrifice a great deal for theircountry, and as part of that sacrifice they’reseparated from family and friends for extendedperiods of time,” Anderson said. “Ithink the small part I can do as a civilianand as a researcher is to use my knowledgeand skills to find out how to help thesefamilies maintain strong and healthyrelationships.”K-State can support soldiers, andresearchers can gain more skills, he said.“It’s much more than gaining access to apopulation,” Anderson said. “It’s moreabout us working together with leaders inthe military and melding our interests sowe can answer important and interestingquestions for the military.”Military families are generally resilient,he said, but they need support. “They’vededicated themselves to a cause and to aprofession, and it’s not just them — it’stheir whole family who’s made that choice,”Anderson said.said Toni Bryant, the Fort Riley extensionoffice coordinator.

He is stationed at the Army’s Fort Rileyin Kansas and has been deployed in Iraq sinceNovember 2009.Preventing violenceSandra Stith’s goal is to eliminate violence.“I want to look at what can be doneto have a society that is free of violence —a world where people work things out anddon’t use hitting, shoving or slapping,”she said.The military aims to do the same.Stith works closely with the military,particularly the Air Force, to treat andprevent domestic violence in militaryfamilies. Stith is interviewing militaryfathers to investigate new programs tosupport them in their roles as parents,and she’s developing a tool to predictrecidivism for spousal abuse. However,the idea that domestic violence is morecommon in military families is a myth,she said.“That’s one of the things people think,but there’s no evidence that abuse oranything like that is more prevalent inmilitary families,” Stith said.The military is focused on preventingand treating domestic violence — sometimesmore so than in the civilian world,she said.“The military is very concerned abouthaving all of their members be ready tobe deployed and to do their work,” Stithsaid. “When there are problems with thefamily, that keeps them from completingtheir mission.”Taking care of neighborsK-State offers direct outreach tosoldiers and their families.

He’s known nationally for designingand evaluating noncredit educationalprograms for parents and children.“It’s like the perfect mix,” Bryant said.“By bringing in the K-State experts, we cangive the military a different perspectiveand provide extra resources.”The impactBy offering more services, support andresearch, the college and institute could helpmore military families across the country.Brandi Mussack, the hotel and restaurantmanagement student, said she remainsproud of her husband, Tim, and is thankfulfor the support from the K-State community.“I’ve met some amazing people —wives, families — in the Army that havebecome a support group,” she said. “Younever get used to your spouse being gone,but it’s important to have that support.”More outreach could educate peopleon misconceptions, said Nicole Cook, therecent K-State alumna.Engaging youthK-State helps military youth get involvedat home and at installations overseas.Marlene Glasscock, a research assistantprofessor in the School of Family Studiesand Human Services, is the project directorfor 4-H Military Partnerships. She helpsmanage grant funding for the organization,which provides youth programs for childrenwhose parents serve in the military.Organizations like 4-H provide stabilityfor military children, Glasscock said.“As kids move from installation toinstallation, they’ll have the consistencyand predictability of 4-H clubs,” she said.Children at installations outside the U.S.can join 4-H and compete in state andcounty competitions, Glasscock said. Forexample, children on bases in Europe arepart of Maryland 4-H. The organizationteaches skills that support the development“I’m not just a follower. I’m a leader,”she said. “I know a ton of military wiveswho are brilliant.
