There’s Good News: OSU-Cascades honors former Army intelligence analyst Chloe Van Witzenburg
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — OSU-Cascades student Chloe Van Witzenburg is being recognized by the university community for her service this Veterans Day. Van Witzenburg served eight years in the U.S. Army as an intelligence analyst before transitioning out of the military in 2023.
During her military career, Van Witzenburg deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. While deployed and throughout her service, she collaborated with U.S. intelligence agencies and international partners, briefing senior military leaders on critical intelligence that helped inform decisions.
As a woman serving in a predominantly male military environment, Van Witzenburg navigated challenges that strengthened her confidence, adaptability and commitment to advocating for herself and others. She brought those personal and professional experiences to OSU-Cascades when resuming her education.
Enrolled as a natural resources student, Van Witzenburg is pursuing her passion for environmental conservation while exploring academic interests in soil science and viticulture. As a proud queer woman veteran, she aims to challenge existing assumptions about veteran identity and highlight the diversity of service members.
