Veteran's Listserv here: Info

Purpose of the veterans listserv: "veterans-list" is an on-line e-mail based network designed to serve as a resource for SCSU students who are Veterans/Reservists/National Guard members, to share their experiences or thoughts, ask questions, and find resources on campus. Family members are also allowed to subscribe to the list. In addition SCSU Faculty and staff who are interested in being a resource to veterans may subscribe to the list.

Don't forget our Buddy Program!
