VR&E on Campus
VR&E – Veteran Readiness and Employment counselors are trained to provide academic and vocational guidance to veterans and help connect them to other VA benefits, including health care and mental health services. The VR&E counselors maintain close relationships with local VA Vet Centers and VA medical facilities, as one of their main roles is to refer service members, veterans, and dependents as needed and provide assistance in applying for VA medical and nonmedical benefits. Their main goal is to ensure your academic and future accomplishments by making sure you have all the necessary tools and knowledge to do so.
