The Veterans Resource and Outreach Center is the one-stop shop for all things related to the veteran and military-connected community on campus.

As part of the Student Affairs Division, the Veterans Resource and Outreach Center is available to all military-connected students, including active duty, veteran, Reservist, National Guard, spouse or dependents. It is our mission to build a supportive and inclusive experience for all visitors to our office.
