Center for Student Veterans and Service Members
Springfield Technical Community College is dedicated to eliminating the barriers to education encountered by veterans and service members. We help address:
- Information barriers by providing a go-to person who is available to walk you through any problem you encounter on campus
- Financial barriers by providing the most up-to-date information about military benefits
- Educational barriers by clearly posting the policies for Students Called to Duty, and increasing resources for tutoring for military students
- Injury and trauma-related barriers by increasing access to mental health and disability services support, advocacy, and accommodations
- Cultural barriers by providing professional development workshops/training for administration, faculty, and staff on personal/mental health issues specific to Veterans
Mission Statement
The mission of the Center for Student Veterans and Service Members is to eliminate the barriers to a successful college education by identifying needs, providing support, promoting communication and interaction among, and empowering the success of students with military training and combat experience.
