The mission of the Veterans Resource Center (VRC) is to assist and empower our military-connected students and their families. We provide an encouraging community, professional development, VA benefits counseling (via VSOC), academic support, and a safe space for students to relax, network, and connect. We advocate on behalf of our students with PSU staff, faculty, and administrators to increase awareness of the unique cultural differences and experiences found in the Veteran community. The vision of the VRC is to build an equitable and holistic support system for students to smooth their transition to higher education, facilitate academic success, and provide professional and personal development opportunities. We strive to cultivate an environment that is inclusive and engaging for all students, and that celebrates their diversity and intersectional identities.
