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. 

As a service provider for military-affiliated and Veteran students, we endeavor to:

As part of Student Life, we value:

• Fostering a compassionate office space while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, ethical behavior, and confidentiality
• Networking with university, local, state, and federal organizations who may be able to assist, especially in a crisis
• Ensuring we exceed the University's inclusivity standards as laid out by the University Commission on Community, Equity, and Diversity, which can be found here

• Processing military educational benefits in an accurate, efficient, and timely manner in accordance with federal and state law, VA regulations, and USNH Board of Trustees policy
• Providing a comfortable space for student Veterans, Service Members, and other military-affiliated students to study and socialize, to include Veteran-only on-campus housing
