The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) at Foothill College is a centralized resource hub, easily accessible and widely available to all veterans and their families. The Disabled Student Programs and Services (DSPS) and High Tech Center Training Unit (HTCTU) has launched a pilot program that will serve as a model for campuses in meeting the needs of an increasing number of returning veterans for a successful transition to academic life. Our goal is to ensure that veterans achieve their educational and career goals in a supportive environment with adequate and appropriate resources and support staff.
