Military service demands resilience, dedication and the courage to meet challenges few can imagine. At the University of Florida, we recognize that same spirit in our student veterans, service members and military-connected students as individuals who bring discipline, leadership and purpose to every pursuit.
We aim to highlight veteran journeys, honor the history that shapes our campus and highlight the services that help our veteran students flourish. Join us as we honor the past and work to shape the future.
Advancing Veteran Success at UF
The Collegiate Veteran's Success Center (CVSC) is here to ensure our veteran students' next mission is a successful one. Our center provides a welcoming space to connect, study and recharge as well as the resources and community they need to thrive both on campus and beyond. From benefits counseling and career guidance to a place to grab coffee and share stories, we’re here to help them build success at every step.
