Military & Veteran Success
Military & Veteran Success is fully invested in helping our veteran/military students and their families with the challenges of transitioning from active duty military to a welcoming, inclusive campus. We have an understanding of veteran-specific issues that impact performance and academic success and in turn, provide resources and guidance for serving the unique educational needs of veterans.
Military & Veteran Success was established in 2022 to enhance student veterans’ academic success and increase understanding and cultural challenges Veterans face. We are committed to providing veterans with opportunities that improve quality of life and lead to a successful post military career.
