Women and Family Programs
Women & Family Programs
Women & Family Programs is comprised of differing programs that serve the Women Veteran, military family, and military-connected student population. The goal of this program is to create an environment where the population we serve is able to feel welcomed while also having a safe space to connect with their peers, the VRC, and campus.
Dependent’s Declassified: Discussions and Activities
Previously known as Dependents Talk – Dependent’s Declassified is a program designed to provide Dependents and Military-Connected students a safe space to gather amongst themselves to freely share their experiences of being a spouse, child, or any other familial relationship to a military member. Within this program, discussions and activities occur consecutively, where discussions focus on four main pillars that fall under BRAT – Born, Raised, Adaptive & Trained.
