Student Veterans
Our staff is dedicated to helping student veterans achieve their goals of higher education. Our goal is to ensure that all of our students are aware of the benefits that are available to them through the university and prepare them to enter the post-graduate world.
We aim to facilitate those resources to our students for them to have the successful academic careers they dream of.
