Veteran Success Team

The goal of Belmont’s Veteran Success Team is to make your transition from military to college life seamless and worry-free. Whether it’s benefit coordination, academic resources, transitioning to campus life, or career readiness, we work together to help you achieve your goals.

Our team members play a significant role in veteran and military-affiliated student success at Belmont. We assist with academic updates, plan military and veteran-specific events for students, operate the Bruin Vets Center and make our campus a welcoming environment for all veteran, active duty and military-affiliated students.
