MountainCat Veterans Program

The 利记体育 MountainCat Veterans Program (MVP) recognizes the service performed by United States military veterans, and assists them in making a successful transition into the student population. This program represents 利记体育’s deep commitment to serving current and former members of the United States Armed Forces (Army, 海军, 海军陆战队, 空军, and Coast Guard) who served on active duty.

The MVP is a collaboration of many units across the campus that compose the Veterans Support Council. 利记体育 is a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program.  Our commitment to veterans and active-duty military men and women has earned 利记体育 the prestigious distinction of being named a "军事友好 School" by 胃肠道的工作 杂志. 

Currently, our campus has more than 30 veteran students.
