Military Connected Initiatives
About
The Lozano Long Division of Global, Community, and First-Gen Initiatives is dedicated to empowering military-connected students. We offer specialized services, events, and programs to support active-duty service members, veterans, reservists, guard members, and their families. As a military-invested campus, we are committed to removing barriers that hinder our students’ academic success. By providing tailored support programs, we aim to facilitate a seamless transition from military service to college life and ultimately, graduation.
