It’s important..

As more service members return to civilian life, the urgency to ensure that they have the support they need to reach their educational and career goals grows each day.

Baruch College has signed U.S. Department of Education 8 Keys to Veterans’ Success:

  • Creating a culture of connectedness on campus
  • Coordinating and centralizing campus efforts for all veterans
  • Collaborating with local communities and organizations to align services and supports for veterans
  • Implementing an early alert system
  • Utilizing a uniform set of data tools to collect and track information relating to veteran students (i.e., retention and degree completion)
  • Developing systems to ensure sustainability of effective practices

The Student Veterans of America – Baruch Chapter is exciting to work with the administration to fulfill these practices.
