Military Connected Initiatives

About us

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.

Specialized Services and Connection Opportunities

  • Career Counseling and Coaching for empowering veterans with the various knowledge skills and confidence to achieve meaningful and fulfilling careers in civilian sectors after military services.
  • Academic Advisor for Veterans, an academic advisor offers specialized aid in understanding and maximizing their military benefits, such as GI Bill® benefits, and ensuring a smooth transition from military service to university life.
  • Veteran Friendly Office Training aims to create a welcoming environment for veterans transitioning from military service to academic life. When 25% of the office/department/division have completed the training, they will receive official recognition by the University as a designated space or department committed to providing specialized support and resources tailored to the needs of military veterans.
  • Veteran’s RSO (Registered Student Organization) to serve as a crucial resource and community hub for military-affiliated students, enhancing their college experience and supporting their academic and personal success.
