Hartnell's Veteran Resource Center provides personalized and caring support to Hartnell student veterans during their transition from military service to college life. We help our veterans navigate through Hartnell and provide assistance with VA educational benefits, as well as give veteran students the tools to succeed academically and personally.
We value the skills, assets and experiences veterans bring to the Hartnell community, and are committed to helping them achieve to their educational goals.
