Student Veteran Engagement
Supporting Our Student Veterans
The Office of Student Veteran Engagement (OSVE) supports the W&M campus community by offering a space staffed with experts who assist military and veteran students in connecting with all parts of the university. We bolster the efforts of student organizations, connect students with resources on and off-campus, help with applications, GI bill benefits, and transferability of courses, and assist in finding internship and employment opportunities. Alongside W&M Military & Veteran Affairs, we coordinate initiatives across all schools and programs, work to expand veteran enrollment, and seek support for those and other university veteran programs.
Recent successes include expanding enrollment in student veteran organizations, conducting Green Zone training for staff and faculty to improve understanding of military & veteran issues, the identification of scholarship and internship opportunities, and coordination of university-wide Veterans Day activities, including incredible efforts by campus and community volunteers. The Office converted those initial volunteer efforts into a coordinated, sustained campaign to make William & 玛丽 truly military- and veteran-friendly and a model for other universities.
