About
Opened in November of 2012, MAVRC works to address the challenges faced by the military-related student. The journey towards a resource center began as a collaborative effort between UWM faculty and staff, several of whom were military veterans, and military-related students, in partnership with campus leadership. Each group recognized the unique experiences service members bring to the UWM campus and Milwaukee community, as well as the potential barriers that impede the transition into higher education. Based on the needs expressed, the Military and Veterans Resource Center was created to offer support and advocacy through comprehensive programs, resources, professional development, and community connections in Milwaukee.
MAVRC is located in the Student Union and offers a lounge space, a large quiet study computer lab, and is also home to the Military Education Benefits Office (MEBO) and the VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC) for a One-Stop-Shop support experience.
