Fordham Office of Military & Veterans’ Services

Mission Statement

Our main goal is to ease the military transition to civilian life, into higher education, and finally to professional careers.

Thesis

The military-to-civilian transition is too great a task for a single DoD transition program. With support services siloed, veterans need a coordinated effort to support military-connected students navigating from service to the classroom to career. Therefore, Fordham University employs a whole-of-community approach to tailor services to the unique needs of militaryconnected students at every phase in the military-to-civilian transition to fulfill its mission
