In honor of Veterans Day, CU would like to show our appreciation for our veteran students and veteran dependents with Veteran Appreciation Week, as well as remind the community of the veteran services currently offered at CU.

Veteran Appreciation听Week at The Rec

(Guests must be at least 16 years of age to attend a fitness class and at least 12 years of age to boulder in the climbing gym.)

And on Veterans Day, Friday, Nov. 11, present your military ID and Buff OneCard at Guest Services to get a free Rec Center water bottle, while supplies last.听

The Office of Veteran Services (OVS) is a one-stop shop for all veteran programs, policies, pay, information, support and more.

With a unique understanding that student veterans and military members are听a valued,听vital component of the听campus community鈥攖he diversity of which is听broadened by听their life experiences鈥擵eteran Services strives to听make听successful transitions for these military persons into our campus environment.

According to the OVS, on average, student veterans who withdraw from CU attend听three semesters听before leaving. In an attempt to lower attrition rates and bolster student veteran success at CU, the OVS offers three ongoing programs, listed below.

  • Bridge Program: A two-week, summer course offered to incoming student veterans who need a refresher on basic skills (e.g. math, writing) to successfully transition into academia
  • Peer-to-Peer Mentor Program: Support program that connects incoming student veterans with student veterans already on campus
  • Academic Case-Management Program: Focuses on听case management to get听students who are having academic hardships听back on track
