VetSuccess on campus

Have you heard of the “VSOC” program? It stands for the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) VetSuccess on Campus program – and ɫɫ�� Michigan University is a location spot!  Through the VSOC program, VA places experienced vocational rehabilitation counselors on college campuses to assist the growing number of servicemembers, veterans and dependents attending school under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® and other VA educational programs.

These VSOC counselors are trained to provide academic and vocational guidance to veterans, and help connect them to other VA benefits, including health care and mental health services.  The VSOC counselors maintain close relationships with local VA Vet Centers and VA medical facilities, referring servicemembers, veterans and dependents as needed and providing assistance applying for VA medical and nonmedical benefits. Brent Haddow, VSOC counselor at ɫɫ��,  can be found on campus in Ellsworth Hall in the Military and Veteran Student Lounge, Room 1304.

VetSuccess on Campus services are available to Service Members and Veterans eligible for any of VA’s educational programs, including the Post 9/11 GI Bill® and Montgomery GI Bill®, as well as VA’s Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Program.  VSOC counselors can also assist dependents of Veterans who are receiving VA education benefits, including eligible spouses attending school through the Post 9/11 GI Bill® and eligible children.

In addition, VA’s Education and Career Counseling Program offers a great opportunity for transitioning servicemembers and veterans to get personalized counseling and support to guide their career paths, ensure most effective use of their VA benefits, and help them achieve their goals.  Visit Brent on campus to learn more about this program.
