Phil Labrie

Associate Director, Military & Veterans Outreach

I am an Air Force veteran and loved my time in the service. I grew up in Manchester N.H., and I currently live in Spokane WA, with my wife and two daughters. I've been married since 2003. My one daughter is a competitive figure skater and the other rides horses. Most weekends from April until October you will likely find me at our spot on the Pend Oreille River. I love playing most board, card, or outdoor lawn games. I enjoy skiing in the winter and playing golf in the summer. I recently got into climbing mountains and riding motorcycles. So far I've climbed Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens, hoping to get to the top of many more Cascade Mountains while my knees still work. I earned my BA in accounting at Whitworth University in 2011 while utilizing the GI Bill.

Message From The School

My role at Whitworth is to be a resource for all of our military-connected students; because you, your parent, or your spouse served makes you part of my circle. No matter what reason, I hope you know I’m here to serve you and answer any of your questions. For any veteran getting back into school after being out for so long, I can relate because I did the same thing and would love to chat with you about it. I hope you will visit me at the Military & Veterans Resource Center (MAVRC), a 3,000-square-foot house on the west end of campus. MAVRC is open to our military members, veterans, ROTC cadets and dependents. It currently includes a computer lab, kitchen, relaxation space and game room, with more updates planned for the future!

The American Legion

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans.
