About Veteran Services

UMass Amherst is committed to offering quality services and support programs for student veterans, active military, and their families. If you are a member of the UMass community, we hope you will stop by the new Student Veterans Resource Center (SVRC) located in Goodell Hall (up Hicks Way from the Recreation Center) in Room 453.

The SVRC hosts a variety of programming throughout the year such as a welcome orientation specific to Veterans and cross-cultural events. Veteran staff members are available during regular office hours if you have questions. You'll find the SVRC is a comfortable place to study, relax, meet other student veterans, learn about and access resources, or just have a cup of coffee!
