Veteran Student Resources
The Office of Veteran Student Services is a campus-wide effort that unifies services and support, and provides mentorship for veterans. As part of this effort, we've developed this website to provide you with easy access to the information you may want to consult in the course of your time at Drexel.

DU Remembers...Will You?
The Veterans Task Force invites you to show support for our United States service men and women who are students, faculty, and professional staff by wearing a "DU Remembers …Will You?" wristband or wearing red, white and/or blue on Fridays. Wearing the wristband can spark conversation and contribute to a culture of respect and support for our soldiers on campus and in our lives. Take time to inquire more about friends, family and campus members who have served — ask the questions and discover their stories.
