Biography:
Dr. Kleykamp is a demographer whose research focuses on the role of military service and veteran's status on labor market outcomes. After receiving her Ph.D. in sociology from Princeton University in 2007, she taught at the University of Kansas and the United States Military Academy at West Point.
