➡️ What's new: The Office of Military and Veteran Services (OMVS), through the Military-Connected Resource Center, is now the university's central office for military and VA education benefit services. The change is designed to make it easier for students to access the support they need throughout their academic journey.

💡 Why it matters: Navigating military and VA education benefits can be complex. By bringing these services together under one office, UNO is streamlining the process and providing military-connected students with a dedicated resource for benefit certification, questions, and ongoing support.
