The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a long history of honoring and serving student veterans. From General Pershing, UNL ROTC instructor and second ever General of the Armies of the United States, to our modern day leaders, our obligation to honor our values is the hallmark and symbol of excellence that transcends the potential that student veterans bring to UNL.
The transition from volunteer service, and for some, continued service in the military, to a college student can be an unfamiliar and a challenging experience for military connected students. Our goal is to support those students to become comfortable and aware of campus and community resources focused on academic success.
