Serving those who have served

The Office of Military and Veterans Affairs provides guidance and mentorship for veterans, those still serving and their family members. We offer assistance in academic and benefit support; we also bring answers to questions regarding WMU, the VA and southwest Michigan.

  • Academic support
  • Career services
  • Counseling and disability services
  • GI benefits and in-state tuition
  • Student Veterans of America (SVA)
