Eastern Michigan University's Lt. Colonel Charles S. Kettles Military and Veteran Services Center serves over 500 student veterans, spouses and dependents each year. Our retired military staff understands the unique needs of veteran and military students and their families and is proud of its long history of being military and veteran friendly. EMU is proud of its Army officer producing Army ROTC Eagle Battalion established in 1952 which enhances the military friendly nature of our institution. EMU student veterans receive individualized resume writing, academic advising, and employment preparation coaching. Student veterans receive enhanced priority and service for admission and registration and receive recognition for their service at commencement ceremonies.
