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

Toni Cortright
Growing up the son of a military father was tough. But at the major decision points in his life, Toni Cortright chose a path of service every time — first, an Army career that would last 20-plus years with multiple overseas and multinational deployments; then dedicating his post-service life to ASU students through EOSS Career Services. Toni helps students, especially his fellow veterans, navigate transition, find purpose and write their next chapter. And his advice is simple: Keep pushing. Use your resources. You are valued.
