As an advocate for Veterans and their dependents our campus has far reaching programs of support for Veterans.
Our Veterans Resource Team (The VRT) supporting Student Veterans is an interdisciplinary team of staff and administrators from key departments across campus who have come together to foster awareness of the student veteran experience and ensure that student veteran needs are being met across campus.
Their main goals are to promote a positive campus experience for student veterans and their families, support student veteran entry into civilian and university life, and facilitate access to veteran benefits, resources and mentors to enable degree completion.
