Military & Veteran Affairs

Serving those who serve our nation.

Military Friendly Gold School for 2023-2024Here at William & Mary, we are grateful for the service of our nation's military veterans and their families. Our mission is as simple as it is important: We ensure that all services to our military veterans and their families are commensurate with the character of their service to our nation. If you choose to attend William & Mary, you will have every chance to develop all the necessary components to thrive and succeed academically and beyond. Welcome home.

The Office of William & Mary Military & Veteran Affairs, led by the Special Assistant to the President for Military & Veteran Affairs, helps coordinate and support existing military and veteran programs across the university and forges connections with external partners across military commands, corporations, veteran executives, alumni, federal programs, and other universities. In addition, the Special Assistant oversees the Veteran-to-Executive Transition (W&M VET) program. 

Veteran-to-Executive Transition Program (W&M VET)

W&M VET is designed to leverage resources and expertise across the university to support and empower military veterans in their successful transition into high-level civilian management positions. This innovative and dynamic approach to veteran support will transform corporate access to proven leaders.

  • Whole of Government Center of Excellence

  • Center for Mindfulness & Authentic Excellence
