Military Resource Center
ACHS’s Military Resource Center (MRC) supports our active duty and veteran students through their transition from military service to community and civilian life. We strive to integrate holistic wellness as part of the campus experience to encourage our veterans and enrich both their academic and social experience. With our campus partners, we provide access to resources to cultivate an invaluable campus experience and beyond.
The MRC is made up of experienced campus staff, available to counsel and support military students throughout their education. The MRC supports our military and veteran students with their integration to the college while partnering with other offices to ensure students understand their pathway to graduation. We provide timely certification of VA benefits and services and programs to support the overall wellness of our military and veteran students.
