Welcome to the Veteran and Military Resource Center

 

Whether you're Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, Veteran, or a military spouse or dependent, the Veteran & Military Resource Center (VMRC) is here to support your success from admission through graduation.
We help students navigate VA education benefits, connect with campus and community resources, and build a strong sense of belonging at the University of New Mexico.

Happy Veterans Day! 

To all our nation's veterans, we thank you.
We have compiled a list of businesses and organizations offering complimentary or discounted meals, services, and other special offers to veterans in recognition of Veterans Day. We encourage our military-affiliated students and dependents to share these opportunities with the veterans in their lives!
