About Veterans on campus nyc
Veterans on Campus NYC is a coalition of the city's colleges and universities, corporations, and the NYC Department of Veterans' Services. We have four objectives:
(1) To assist New York City academic institutions in further identifying and adopting best practices which support the needs and strengths of student veterans currently enrolled across the City
(2) To attract the finest men and women of our armed forces to come to New York City to pursue undergraduate and graduate education
(3) To help all veterans and their families transition effectively into academic and urban life, and to thrive while in school
(4) To launch veterans into successful careers in the private and public sectors
