Success is Rarely Accomplished Alone
The Military and Veteran Success Center is dedicated to helping Military Dependents, Veterans, Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve Students accomplish their academic goals.
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.

P- PURPOSE
The MVSC gives students a sense of purpose in the military community. The Center provides military-connected students a place to feel like they have a purpose and space within the community and take advantage of the services offered. The MVSC offers opportunities for students to find purpose in organizations or resources through events such as Information and Career Fairs (pictured above).
O- OWNERSHIP
Students can exemplify ownership by attending tutoring when needed and using the office’s resources. This allows for them to be a more active participant in their future, as well as having to be an advocate for themselves with VA benefits. The MVSC offers tutoring Monday Thursday from 4:30-7:30 PM and support for VA benefits from 8 AM- 4:30 PM.

Student Services
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.
