VTC general info
The Veterans Transition Center (VTC) is a non-partisan student-led Veterans group at the University of MN-Twin Cities started by Comfort for Courage (C4C). We exist to support the veterans of our country’s Armed Forces and our main goal is to help student veterans smoothly make the transition from military to civilian life. We provide student veterans with a place where they can meet other student veterans in a friendly atmosphere. Stop by and share your story if you’d like, or hear another veteran’s story. The VTC is open to and encourages participation of non-veterans, all students, staff and faculty of the University, as well as neighbors in the community. Veterans do a great job of supporting each other, but it is important to note the support veterans receive from non-veterans and the importance of that support. We want to build an environment on campus that is supportive of and friendly to veterans and making the VTC open to non-veterans is an important part in achieving that goal.
