- Am I eligible? We bring together alumni and faculty members from any school at Columbia University who have also served in the US Armed Forces. For example, if you went to CC and then served in the Navy, you’re in. If you served in the Army, and then studied at ANY school at Columbia, you’re in. If you’re a faculty member or administrator who also is serving or has served in ANY of the US Armed Forces, you’re in. Basically, if you served in the US Armed Forces, didn’t receive a dishonorable discharge, and graduated from or worked at Columbia University, you’re in.
- I’ve heard of MilVets and other student groups on campus. What’s the difference? Primarily, we are alumni or faculty members who have served. We’ve come together to find ways to help fellow alumni, current students and all veterans achieve academic and professional success. Student groups on Columbia’s campus such as MilVets, MiBA and others primarily bring together student veterans, while they are students. A list of the student groups and other useful information can be found on our resources page.
