Auburn University Veterans Resource Center

Big things are ahead for the Auburn University Veterans Resource Center.

The Auburn Board of Trustees recently approved the project architect selection for the Foy Hall Student Veterans Resource Center renovation — an exciting step toward expanding the space, services, and support available to Auburn’s student veterans and military-affiliated students.

For the VRC, this renovation means more than additional square footage. It means greater visibility, stronger connection, and a dedicated place where student veterans can access resources, build community, and feel recognized for the experiences they bring to Auburn.

We are grateful for Auburn’s continued investment in student veteran success and excited for what this expansion will make possible for our campus community.

Did you know? Student veterans continue to demonstrate strong academic achievement and persistence in higher education.

📚 Student veterans using the Post-9/11 GI Bill are more likely to graduate, maintain higher GPAs, and pursue academically rigorous degree programs in fields like business, health professions, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

🎓 Research also shows student veterans have a 72% success rate in higher education and average GPAs nearly .40 points higher than their civilian peers.

💼 The most common degree fields among veterans are business (27%) and Health & STEM programs (24%).

👨‍🎓Nearly two-thirds of student veterans are first-generation college students, further highlighting the resilience, determination, and commitment they bring to campus communities across the country.
