📦💙 Exciting News from the UCCS Veteran & Military Affairs Office!

Yesterday, we received the first shipment for our new VMA Supply Closet through our partnership with Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado.

This initiative was created to help support our military-connected students by providing access to food and basic necessities when they need them. We understand that balancing school, work, military commitments, and family responsibilities can be challenging, and our goal is to ensure students have access to resources that help them stay focused on their academic success.

We encourage you to stop by the VMA Office to learn more about the Supply Closet and available resources. We are grateful for our partnership with Care and Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado and look forward to expanding this resource for our students throughout the year.

Last week, our campus community came together to pause, reflect, and remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We are grateful to everyone who attended our 9/11 remembrance event and helped honor those who lost their lives, the families forever impacted, and the first responders and service members whose courage and sacrifice continue to inspire us.

Moments of remembrance like these remind us of the importance of unity, service, and resilience. Thank you for taking the time to join us in honoring the memory of those affected.
