NEW: Best Practices for Military and Veterans Support and Services (January 11, 2012 164 KB)
The Texas A&M University System is committed to providing a welcoming environment, quality education and path to success for veterans, dependents and the military community. These Best Practices guidelines are based on a holistic approach and input from numerous veterans support organizations and universities. They provide an optimum framework for supporting those who have served their country in uniform, and whose unique experiences enhance their own lives and enrich those of their new academic families.
The Texas A&M University System Veterans Support Office provides leadership, guidance and coordination of services and support for student veterans, dependents and military personnel within the Texas A&M System. A continuation of the system’s Project Military Friendly, the VSO is a part of the Office of the Chancellor.
The VSO was formally announced in April 2011 by Board of Regents Chairman Richard A. Box.
