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. Additionally, it supports recruitment, alumni engagement, and scholarship initiatives, while organizing Veteran’s Day events, networking opportunities, and ongoing program assessments to strengthen campus resources and cultivate a supportive community.
