Our Mission
To support the mission of the Division of Student Life through the development and implementation of outreach programs designed to provide student support services focused on the special needs and requirements of today’s military veterans, service members, dependents and survivors. The Center was established to improve and enhance the success of student veterans, to help them receive the benefits they deserve, to serve as a liaison between the veteran student community and the University and to increase their academic success.
Jackson State University is proud to be recognized as a Military Friendly® School Gold and Military Spouse Friendly® School, designations awarded by Military Friendly®. These prestigious recognitions reflect the university’s strong commitment to supporting service members, veterans, and their families through meaningful programs, resources, and opportunities that foster academic and personal success.

Each year, more than 2,900 organizations compete for Military Friendly® designation through a comprehensive, data-driven evaluation process.
