Veterans' Resource Center (VRC)

Opened in Spring 2014, and moved and enlarged during Summer 2019, this beautiful center is a result of the hard work, passion and dedication of many student veterans, faculty and staff members and a symbol of the commitment Southwestern College has made to support the success of student veterans.

The VRC is pleased to offer a variety of services to support the success of our student Veterans and others using Veterans' benefits as they pursue their academic and career goals.

Virtual Chat

We are here to support each of our student’s needs. Chat live on Cranium Café by finding an online staff member below. To learn more, visit the Virtual Welcome Center. Our student service specialists have their hours of availability listed on their profile cards. If a team member's hours are not reflective of their availability, they are likely supporting another student. We give each of our students the individual attention and time they deserve. Thank you for your patience.
