UNL will celebrate the opening of its new Military and Veteran Success Center today at 3:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union’s Colonial Room. An open house will follow the ribbon cutting.
The new Military and Veteran Success Center, located in the Nebraska Union, Room 16, is designed to assist student veterans with the transition to academic life and support their successes.
“The primary focus of the center will be to support veterans and their dependents, from their first day on campus through graduation,” said Darrell Everhart, founding director of the center and a retired U.S. Navy captain. “We are offering this support to all student veterans, which includes active-duty, reservists, National Guard and military dependents.
“Our goal is to develop programs and services that empower student veterans to succeed, both personally and professionally, in an academic environment.”
The program is an extension of UNL’s First-Year Experience and Transition Programs.
