Helping Those Who Have Served
The transition from military service to college is difficult without support. In fact, our VETWAYS research shows that peer to peer connections for veteran students improve outcome and experiences. Through partnerships with community members, University Veteran Services (UVS) aims to ensure each student receives the personalized support they deserve as they pursue academic success.
Helping military-connected students find their way is one of the greatest needs on a campus of nearly 50,000 students. Through the support of the Naylor Classic and individuals like you, funds are being generated that enable UVS to implement specialized programming, outreach efforts and events that will help new military-connected successfully acclimate to campus life.
Your donation helps propel this work forward and makes sure that all of our veteran students get opportunities to make early connections and out continuing students maintain tight bonds with their military and veteran community.
