VALDOSTA — 美高梅博彩 is continuing to serve and support student veterans through the creation of the Veteran Resource Center.
退伍军人资源中心的目标是为退伍军人学生和与军事有关的学生提供在高等教育和毕业后取得成功所需的资源、支持和宣传。
“It will provide a designated location on campus for student veterans to study and spend time with and support others with like mindsets in a fun and relaxing space,” said retired Air Force Master Sgt. Mark A. Smith, military liaison and coordinator of the Veteran Resource Center. “It also serves as a place to obtain on- and off-campus resources. 美高梅博彩 desires to attract more student veterans, and the Veteran Resource Center provides a way to stay abreast of trends with veterans and military-related students.”
退伍军人资源中心提供广泛的资源，包括联邦和州福利信息； 同侪辅导及校园支援服务； 关于奖学金和经济援助机会的信息； 有关本地退伍军人服务机构的资料； 就业准备车间; 安静的学习区； 勤工助学机会; 资深社交活动； 和更多。
该办公室向所有退伍军人学生和所有现役军人、军人配偶及其家属开放。
“Today's veterans face numerous obstacles on their path to obtaining a college degree,” Smith said. “These challenges range from a missing sense of camaraderie to feeling like an outsider among 18-year-old traditional students to a lack of understanding by university faculty. 再加上有形和无形的战争创伤，对于从军队服役归来的男女来说，大学学位可能是一个难以捉摸的目标。
“We at the Veteran Resource Center will support veterans and their families as they transition and complete higher education. They’ll be able to connect with other military students, find reintegration support, and take advantage of peer mentoring.”
The Veteran Resource Center is located on vs上’s Rea and Lillian Steele North Campus in Pound Hall Suite 1200. 它包括一个办公室； breakroom; 休息室配有舒适的椅子、电脑、打印机和电视； 还有一个用于培训、研讨会和会议的大教室。 暂定营业时间为周一至周四上午8点至下午5点30分，周五上午8点至下午3点。
