Chancellor's Committee on Veteran and Servicemember Success
Purpose
The Chancellor’s Committee on Veteran and Servicemember Success makes recommendations to the Chancellor to improve the educational and transitional experiences of veterans, servicemembers, and military-family students. The committee fosters collaboration among faculty, staff, and campus offices, advocates for policy improvements, and addresses key issues—ranging from academic success and military absence policies to health services and student retention.
