Veterans Center
Student Groups
All students who are veterans of the military are welcome to join the Student Veterans Group. The group sponsors speakers of interest to veterans, collects goods from the campus to ship to deployed troops, sponsors other community service activities and allows veterans to come together in a risk-free environment.
Begun in the fall of 2008, the Towson Veterans Student Group has both virtual and live members—people do what they can. Projects have included spearheading a campus-wide effort to collect items to send to deployed troops (who should know better?), leading a Toys For Tots Drive, and speaking at meetings and forums to let people on campus know “what it was like.”
The group provides an opportunity for veterans to share their experiences readjusting to being on a campus after a life in combat with others in the same situation.
Students in the group enjoy getting together. Some, who can’t attend group functions in person, appreciate receiving e-mails and updates on activities. To join or to attend meetings and events, please call or write to Tracy Miller, TU veterans advocate, tmiller@towson.edu.
