The Center of Excellence for Veteran Student Success (CEVSS)’s mission is to promote
the holistic development and achievement of student veterans through the integration of
academic, career, networking, and wellness services. Made possible by a Department of
Education Fund for the Improvement of Secondary Education (FIPSE) grant, the Center
serves as a centralized point for veteran students that focuses on four key areas: 1) easing
veterans’ transition to campus life, 2) increasing retention, 3) achieving educational and
career goals, and 4) providing a higher quality of life.

How Can Veteran Students Benefit from the Center?
ACADEMIC INTERVENTION
Students who are on academic probation or
an ‘at risk’ status are contacted by a veteran
peer mentor who will perform an intake and
discuss a plan to bring the student’s grades
back up. This program has shown a four-fold
increase in students’ GPAs being brought
back to good academic standing.
CAREER CORPS
Career Corps is a monthly program to assist
veterans with resume writing, job searching,
and networking skills.

experiences than their male counterparts.
This group provides a place for women to
come together and discuss their experiences
in a safe and supportive environment.
PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS

been designed to acclimate veteran students
to University life. The course covers various

and time management skills.

students in a peer mentoring position. They
assist with veteran outreach, support, and
other Center programs.
