Veteran and Military Services
The Office of Veteran and Military Services is dedicated to eliminating the barriers to education encountered by veterans and service members. We thank those students with military experience and combat training by providing them with a supportive environment and the tools and resources to successfully traverse the bridge between military service and a fulfilling college experience.

- Educational barriers by clearly posting the policies for Students Called to Duty, and increasing resources for tutoring for military students
