Who We Are
UW-Eau Claire is a gold-level Military Friendly School for its efforts to create sustainable and meaningful education paths for the military community. We serve and support both veterans and dependents of veterans. The Veterans Center provides a meeting place on campus for veteran students, faculty, staff, and their dependents, to honor them for their service to the country and to be a place of welcome for veterans on campus. It is a place where students can learn more about resources specifically for them, attend programs on veteran needs, and participate in support groups.
What We're Fundraising For
We are aiming to expand and enhance our spaces, services, and events that celebrate and empower veterans and their dependents both academically and personally. Whether it’s through scholarships, campus resources, or community-building initiatives, your support for the Military and Veterans Center makes a difference. Veteran students and dependent students often face unique challenges when transitioning into academic life. Our team works to smooth that path by providing personalized academic support, assistance with navigating VA and DOD education benefits, and a range of programs designed to boost their educational experience.
Your Impact
Gifts will help us continue to upgrade the Military and Veterans Center. Your support ensures we can continue to offer study spaces, improve technology, and personalized academic support. Every dollar counts toward building an environment where veterans can thrive, both academically and personally. Thank you for being part of this mission to empower those who have served and their families—your support truly makes a difference!
