Who is a Veteran?

There are many definition of what a veteran is based on several criteria. Not every veteran knows that they are a veteran! The Veterans Support Center will work under the following definition:

Any student, alumni, faculty, or staff member of the University of Utah who has been or is currently serving as a military member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard (active or reserve), or National Guard (of any state)—or has been separated from these services with a discharge other than "dishonorable"—is considered to be a veteran by the Veterans Support Center. Any ROTC cadet in their third or fourth year, any spouse, and children of veterans under this definition may also seek support from the Veterans Support Center.

If you meet any of the above criteria, you are a veteran.
