Veterans Resources

Veterans Resource Center

The Veterans Resource Center is a dedicated space for veterans, current service members, and dependents to find information and resources on a variety of subjects, such as benefits, employment, and community events. It provides a place for peer networking, studying, or just relaxing in between classes. The Student Veterans Organization also uses the space for meetings and events. The center is staffed by the MDVA Regional Coordinator and work study students. Come into Room 1-328 and check it out.
