The Pillars of OVMAE

The work of the Office for Veteran and Military Academic Engagement focuses on three pillars: dialogue, teaching and research.

  

Dialogue

We will foster a supportive, inclusive community for veterans and military-affiliated students through events, networking opportunities and collaboration with the academic, military and civilian communities.

  

Teaching

Our academic offerings — degree programs, certificates, courses — and information resources that contribute to increased understanding and knowledge about service members, veterans and their families.

  

Research

We are making efforts to collaborate on research with other like-minded agencies at ASU and in the greater community, to address veteran issues such as physical and mental health, social connectedness, employment, education and homelessness.
