Veterans and Service Members

With direction and advice from the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, the Center for Career Development created the Veterans and Service Members Affinity Community. This community’s goal is to provide resources focused on supporting students who have served in the uniformed services. Veteran and service member students and alumni encounter unique challenges throughout the career development and job search processes and in the workplace. As a follower of the Veterans and Service Members community, you will get timely alerts on relevant resources, news and advice, and events. The Career Center is committed to advocating and supporting Veteran and service member students and alumni as they navigate the intersection of career and identity.  Use this page to:
