LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Two post-secondary institutions in Lincoln are celebrating the openings of centers designed to provide academic support and assistance to student veterans.
The Military and Veterans Success Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus is an extension of the school's First-Year Experience and Transition Programs. Its goal is to help more than 500 veterans or dependents enrolled at the school with class scheduling, career planning and more.
A similar initiative at Southeast Community College called the Veterans Connect Center also opened Friday. It's aimed at connecting military members and veterans to support services across the college.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that the opening of the centers signals a state and nationwide effort to provide service members and veterans with access to higher education.
