Veterans Resource Center Pilot Programs

Overview: The Need

The California Community College system has begun to serve veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). It is estimated that 16,000 of the 21,000 veterans and their dependents using the GI Bill at California postsecondary institutions are enrolled at a community college. Further, enrollment of veterans is expected to increase dramatically in the near future.

 

Veterans Resource Center Project

To meet the needs of these deserving individuals, the High Tech Center Training Unit (HTCTU) at De Anza College-in coordination with the Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges-proposes establishing a Veterans Resource Center (VRC) on approximately twelve community college campuses, patterned after the VRC at Butte College.

Summary

The Veterans Resource Center project grows from a proven model, one that provides tangible services that form scaffolding for veteran students as they navigate the academic and civilian worlds. This project is great in terms of return, but lean in terms of cost; it can be easily replicated throughout the California Community College (CCC) system (N=110) and nationally.
