Joining Forces: Taking Action to Serve America's Families
Joining Forces: Taking Action to Serve America's Families is a national initiative that mobilizes all sectors of society to give our Service Members and their Families all the opportunities and support they have earned.
8 Keys to Veterans' Success
The "8 Keys to Veterans' Success" (8 Keys) are a voluntary initiative through the Departments of Education and Veterans Affairs. They highlight specific ways that colleges and universities can support veterans as they pursue their education and employment goals.
To join with the colleges and universities that are committed to the 8 Keys, to learn more about this initiative, and to electronically upload an affirmation letter from your president/chancellor, please visit the 8 Keys to Veterans' Success registration site. By affirming support for the 8 Keys, your institution is expressing its commitment to implement the promising practices outlined in them.
