Office of Military-Affiliated Services
UNC Greensboro has a proud legacy of embracing veteran students dating as far back as the Woman’s College alumnae returning from service as WAVES, WACS and nurses in World War II. Today, we strive to create a welcoming and constructive atmosphere for one of our nation’s greatest resources: our veterans.
Military-Affiliated Services is committed to our ongoing mission of:
Coordinating services for veterans, active duty military personnel, and their dependents, serving as a liaison and advocate for military affiliated students, improving military-affiliated student success, and developing a sense of community between our military and civilian populations.
