Veteran Resources

Our office is a welcoming and supportive space for veterans and military‑affiliated students. Students have access to a dedicated lounge and computer lab where they can study, decompress, and connect with fellow veterans, as well as on‑site benefits advising supporting their educational and personal needs. They may also choose to join our Veterans Club and participate in the Student Veterans Transition group, which further support student success and meaningful campus and community engagement.
