Foothill Veterans Resource Center
The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) assists military veterans, service members, and their dependents in successfully navigating the college experience. We provide personal and academic advisement, workshops, and holistic personal and professional development opportunities to help you transition to 海角社区.
We believe veterans possess unique abilities and characteristics that, when nourished, will help them succeed inside and outside of the classroom.
