Veteran Ally Training Program

The Veteran Ally Program facilitates a network of faculty, staff, and administrators committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for military service members, veterans, and family members who are employed by your company or study at your institution.

 

Veteran Ally is offered several times throughout the year, with a target audience of faculty, staff, administrators, and students working with recently separated Veterans, military-connected students, and organizations interested in learning how to best support this population in academia or the workplace.
