The IUP Student Veteran Outreach Ministry is being developed for those students who have served and/or are continuing to serve our country. Many of these students are in the process of transitioning from the battlefield and are preparing to come back to IUP to complete their degree. Some students have been out of the military for sometime now and the transition process is still going on for them. There is no time-line when this "transitioning" period ends. Depending on the affects of being deployed and trying to return to a "normal" life, many of these student veterans could be struggling with decisions that greatly affect their future and possibly their families and loved ones future as well.
Here at St. Thomas More University Parish & Catholic Student Center, we want to offer to all student veterans and students who are dependants of veterans the opportunity to join this ministry. Our focus and goals are to find out the students' needs and provide whatever help we can.
