Military & Veteran Student Services
#1 Ranked Military Friendly® Small Public Institution
Welcome to the University of Northern Iowa Military & Veteran Student Services website. We pride ourselves on being a military-friendly campus where we serve to educate our nation’s finest. UNI provides support not only to military and veteran students, but also to military spouses and dependents who are using their spouse or parent(s) education benefits. As this is a school environment, the Veteran Center is located in Maucker Union up on the second floor behind the student involvement in 111K as part of the Panther Den. We welcome all students to come and hang out, use the resources, and grab a drink and snack.
