Veterans Affairs
Commission Purpose and Charge
The primary mission of KSU’s Presidential Commission on Veterans Affairs is ensuring that KSU provides an inclusive and active campus environment for all members of the veteran community (Students, Faculty, Staff, and Alumni) as well as community members who identify as veterans, service members, spouses, dependents, or survivors. The university will accomplish this mission by:
- Providing advice and consultation on how to maintain and enhance KSU as a “veteran
and military friendly” institution;
- Raising awareness on veteran specific topics;
- Providing guidance on how to incorporate the local community to participate and support
Kennesaw State veteran events and community veteran events;
- Establishing community partners in efforts to reach out to the local and state-wide military organizations.
This focus will provide enriched opportunities for active involvement in the university and the surrounding community, culminating in a creative and supportive campus atmosphere affirming that veterans have a successful academic and professional experience at KSU.
All Commissions are charged by and report to the President through the University's Chief Diversity Officer.
