Veterans Center Launch Event Series
Celebrating the Past, Present, and Future of Golden Gate University's Support of the Military
Join us as we officially launch The Helen Diller Center for Veterans of U.S. Military Service at GGU.
Building off a rich history of serving the military population, Golden Gate University is officially launching its new veterans center, establishing a national model for support and enhanced virtual learning communities for military-connected students.
The three-day launch event, March 10-12, will include a series of livestream events showcasing the past, present, and future of Golden Gate’s support of the military.
“I’m thrilled that all our hard work to build a full-service hub for veteran students is coming to fruition,’’ said GGU President David Fike. “Research shows again and again that veterans who receive targeted, comprehensive support thrive academically, and we intend to be a leader there.”
The Helen Diller Center for Veterans of U.S. Military Service at Golden Gate University—supported by a $2 million grant from the Helen Diller Foundation—will provide robust support and activities for veterans along their entire educational journey. READ MORE…
