Veteran Alumni Council

The Veteran Alumni Council hopes to support veteran students and recognize the achievements of exemplary veteran alumni. As our organization connects and collaborates within the veteran community, we invite all Veteran Tritons to join us as we work together to build a better future.

Mission

The ongoing mission of the Council is to positively influence, unite, advocate, and promote the UC San Diego Veteran community of alumni, students, staff and faculty. We function to foster and bind the community, in which the Council may provide the UC San Diego Veteran Alumni network meaningful opportunities and resources for: professional and personal support, engagement, representation and mentorship.
