Entering Veterans
This is a course uniquely designed to meet the needs of our student veterans. The course is taught by one of our faculty who is a veteran and the peer mentor is also a veteran. While the course covers the same topics as UTAMPA 103, it does so with a focus on the unique needs of our veterans and provides opportunities for our veterans to build community with other veterans on campus and to learn about community resources that support veterans.
