Veteran Resource Center
Vanguard’s Military Connected Community Stronger Together
Vanguard University is a private, faith-based school that strives to honor the sacrifices made by the men and women who have served in the armed forces. The Veteran Resource Center (VRC) is here to connect our entire veteran and military-connected community to resources that will help them succeed, not only academically, but personally.
The Veteran Resource Center is staffed by men and women who have served, be it in uniform or on the home front as spouses or dependents. We know the struggles faced by the veteran and military community because we are facing those same struggles; however, we are stronger together, a testament to the camaraderie forged by our service.
