UNIVERSITY VETERAN SERVICES
Newly introduced as a facet of Student Affairs, University Veteran Services functions as part of identity and inclusion programming. Since its inception in 2014, University Veteran Service serves military-connected UW students from pre-application to post-graduation, and is located on the 10th floor of 333 East Campus Mall. It is currently staffed by Joe Rasmussen and Jolene Anders, both military veterans and UW–Madison alumni.
