OUR MISSION

CCC’s Veteran Services team is dedicated to making sure our students can take full advantage of the resources available to them, including GI Bill® benefits, and help in navigating each step of their college experience. GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

OUR GOALS

  • Support student higher education success
  • Promote personal and academic growth
  • Build community

WHAT WE DO

  • Address needs and advocate for our students
  • Assist with receiving military benefits
  • Ease the transition into academic life

Call, send us an email, or just stop by. We’ll start by helping you get oriented and settled into school, while learning about your specific situation, needs, and goals, so that we can better help you on your journey.

From then on, consider us your on-campus one-stop-shop to everything you need to be successful. Check in regularly, and if you have a problem, our doors are open. If we can’t help you with something specific, we can point you in the right direction. And, we’re always here to lend a kind ear.
