This study tests if the services of the Veterans Resource Center meet the needs of veterans and if these services contribute to veteran success. Using a survey of 130+ student veterans, the study determined that services are accessed and utilized. However, while services contribute to immediate needs, few are related to long-term success. Services that do contribute to long-term success were the Veterans Resource Center, VA benefits certification, library, career, and counseling. Higher success scores are associated with the use and efficiency of these services as assessed by veterans. Equally important is what is missing. There is no statistical relationship between demographic factors (e.g., gender, race) and success. In addition, the unwillingness of veterans to conceal their veteran status from faculty and staff is also absent.
