St. John’s Opens Veterans Success Center
St. John’s University has successfully opened its new Veterans Success Center. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held at Marillac Hall on the Queens campus Feb. 5 to celebrate the opening of the center. The Veterans Success Center will provide provide tutoring, career advisement and other services for student veterans. Student veterans can use the center to conduct career center preparation, résumé writing and library research.
The center was created with the help of the St. John’s Student Veterans Association (SVA). The five organizational pillars of the SVA are academics, career, leadership, service and transition. The association provides support and advocacy for veterans making the adjustment from the military to life on campus. The Mayor’s Office of Veterans’ Affairs will also support the center by sending representatives to the center twice a month and student veterans will also receive assistance filing their e-benefits and taxes.
