Mission and Goals

Sacramento State’s Veterans Success Center provides multi-faceted assistance to prospective and enrolled
student veterans and dependents. Most notably, the center assists students in accessing their GI benefits,
completing the admission application process, and registering for courses. The center also helps students access
campus resources, get involved in leadership activities, and transition into the civilian work world.

• Ensure that VSC students receive all federal and state benefits in which they are entitled in a timely and accurate manner.
• Continually adapt to the needs of veteran students and refine practices as necessary to improve services they need.
• Provide a welcoming and inviting environment for veterans that will aid in their transition to college.

Core Values

The core values of the Veterans Success Center are Service, Community and Commitment.
