2022 Symposium

About the Symposium

The Texas A&M University System Military-Affiliated Student Symposium convenes veterans, higher education administrators, state and federal officials, and others who offer services to veterans in order to share best practices and facilitate communication. The goal of the symposium is to connect local, state, and national support services for higher education institutions with student veterans and military-affiliated students. Additionally, the Symposium is an opportunity to increase communication and collaboration across the state and nation.
 
The theme of the 2022 symposium was “Military-Affiliated Student Success: Fostering Strategic Initiatives” and was based on the Office of Veteran & Military Services Model of Support. Below are the presentations from the symposium:
