Veterans & Military Student Support

Veterans & Military Student Support

The Veterans & Military Student Support Office (VMSS) mission is to ensure you receive full support in your transition from "boots to books." You served your country, now we've got your back!

Our goal is simple. We help you: Get In. Get through. Get Out. Get Paid.

 

We understand that you've got questions about college after military service. If you have family members attending UofM, you want them to get maximum support on campus. There's a lot of ground to cover, but you're not alone. Many of us have walked in your shoes. We've learned the ropes, and if we don't know something, our campus partners do. The military prepared you to be mission focused and persevere. Team VMSS is with you each step of the way!


"I can't contain my excitement. I accepted a position as a Hardware Electrical Engineer at GM. I want to thank the people who supported me through the most difficult times of my life from my time in the army till now…I want to thank the staff at VMSS for guiding me through school and life. Yes, I did the work, but without the help of others I do not know where I would be."

- Electrical Engineering Major (U.S. Army Veteran)
