Military & Veterans

The goal of this community or “rope team” is to support the experience and development of active military, veterans, and family members of active military and veterans who have the unique experience of serving in the uniformed services and to whom we deeply grateful for their selfless service. This community offers connections, opportunities, resources and experiences to help navigate obstacles that may arise along your personal, social, academic and professional journey. We call them “rope teams” because these communities, as many as you are interested in accessing, are here to support your student and alum journey as well as to provide you with an opportunity to support the journey of those you want to help succeed.
