Latine Veterans – Diverse Experiences in Military Service

October 8, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

The military-related population attending the Universities of Wisconsin is comprised of service members who served during a wide range of eras, from Vietnam to the post-9/11 conflicts and from every branch of service. But the diversity goes far beyond service. Today’s military is more racially, ethnically, and gender diverse than ever before. Understanding the diversity and diverse experiences of this student population is vital to their sense of belonging, mental health, and academic success.

The services provided by these centers play a vital role in helping students deepen their understanding of different perspectives and collaborate more effectively with people from various backgrounds and experiences. The centers regularly collaborate with each other and other campus units to provide exceptional programming and services to students, faculty, staff and the community. The centers and their programs and events are open to all students.
