National University’s Veteran Center is a liaison for military-affiliated students, that helps support transition from military life to higher education, works with internal and external resources of the university and helps to build a connection among active duty, veteran, reserve, and dependent students. Here you will find a community that creates lifelong connections with other military-affiliated students and staff, who will encourage you from your first class to graduation and beyond.
Services offered through the National University Veteran Center can be accessed on-site, via phone/email, or through our Virtual Veteran Center on Blackboard Collaborate. Services include Veteran Peer Mentor work-study opportunities, monthly student engagement activities, SALUTE – Veteran Honor Society, SVO; Student Veteran Organization, and access to a veteran center lounge area available for study groups and other meetings at the Spectrum Campus. Please visit www.nu.edu/veterancenter for more information and current hours of operation.
Transitioning to college life can be difficult for any student to make and veterans are no different. While your background and training in the military may serve you well in some areas of higher education, there are often differing expectations and social norms between the two settings. The Veteran Center is here to help!
The Veteran Center employs a team of peer mentors who are current NU student veterans and making this same transition. They are also all using their VA Educational Benefits and have experience helping students in funding, transition, and careers. You can reach a Veteran Center Peer Mentor by coming into the center, phone, or e-mail.
