Campus Resources
Most campuses have a disability support services center, academic resource center, or counseling office that you can access to learn more about the student veterans on your campus. Even if your particular campus does not have the below resources available, you might find value in the work that other schools are doing and even think about starting your own student veteran support organization on your campus.
Certifying Official and/or Veterans' Coordinator
The certifying official or veterans' coordinator often serves as a liaison between student veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the school itself. Someone filling this role might assist student vets with receiving funds from the Post-9/11 GI Bill, registering for appropriate classes, or accessing other resources on and off campus. Here are the official guidelines for school officials from the Department of Veterans Affairs:

Student Veterans Center
A space on campus where student veterans can feel safe, comfortable, and able to build a sense of community, is a key component to student veteran success. Campuses with student vet centers often report that these spaces also help to foster peer mentorships.
Examples:
-Florida State University
-University of Michigan-Flint
-University of Maryland
