Military & Veteran Services

  • We are conveniently located on the Ground Floor of Hood House, right between Hamilton Smith Hall and the MUB.
  • The student body we serve includes Veterans who have served across the globe, from combat zones and peacekeeping missions to providing natural disaster relief right here at home.
  • Our new space in Hood House has allowed us to expand the services we provide to our students, to include two lounge areas: a study lounge (pictured) and a social lounge.
  • Start your day off right with a cup of coffee and a chat with a fellow Veteran or other military-affiliated student in our new kitchenette space.
  • The MVS Office was proud to collect non-perishable food item donations for the Cornucopia Food Pantry in Durham during the 2018 holiday season and hope to make the food drive an annual tradition!

Our Mission

To provide the highest quality service and support to Student Veterans, Service Members, and other military-affiliated students such as dependents, as outlined in the Veteran Administration's Principles of Excellence and 8 Keys of Success. 

Welcome to all our incoming student Veterans!

The Military & Veteran Services staff were honored to facilitate our fifth annual Veteran-only Spring Orientation in January 2019!  We are excited about having these new students join our Wildcat Veteran and Military-Affiliated Community and look forward to helping them achieve their academic and professional goals while here at UNH.

  • Ensure students and the Wildcat community will make us their first choice in learning about Military educational benefits as well as off-campus support programs and services
  • Create a space where student Veterans can connect with and develop lifelong bonds of friendship and camaraderie with other UNH student Veterans
