UCLA and veterans: Respect, shared values and a vibrant partnership
“While Veterans Day is a tribute to all who have served, the holiday also invites us to recognize the veterans within our own UCLA community,” Interim Chancellor Darnell Hunt recently wrote in a message to the campus community. “Having given much to our country, they are now bringing to UCLA their considerable talents, experience and commitment to the common good.”
Since its inception, UCLA has been supporting those who have served — on campus, in Los Angeles and beyond. Through a wide of initiatives and partnerships like the UCLA/VA Veteran Family Wellness Center, the School of Law Veterans Legal Clinic, UCLA Health Operation Mend and the Veterans Resource Center, the university continues to create opportunities for veterans and their families to further their education, pursue careers and thrive in a supportive environment. It’s little wonder U.S. News & World Report has named UCLA the nation’s best public university for veterans eight years in a row.
