The University is committed to facilitating communication among its campus offices in order to serve student Veterans and their families with a coordinated system of service and provide a meaningful transition from the Military to West Chester University. A licensed professional counselor, dedicated to the specialized needs of our student Veteran population, and Veteran and Military Admissions Counselor are on staff. Visitors of the University's Veterans Center can enjoy a worry-free parking slot in the rear of the building.
